Earthquake in downtown Metropolis?  I barely noticed that your elevated

It wasn't an earthquake. Brickmond is experiencing a budget crisis and we
couldn't afford the weekend overtime for engineers to come in and adjust the
monorail elevation for the new Santa Fe. Instead, in haste, we chopped down the
nearest evergreen and toppled a smaller stanchion to prop the track. Luckily,
no minifigs were injured in the crash that alerted us to the designers flaw.
Set up can be difficult when the museum is only open 9 to 5.

After reading this, I have noticed that a single height monorail will end up
being about 5 bricks to short for my town!  I figured I'd need a little
because of the SFSC, but my 8-wide Hi-cube box car makes up another 3 studs
in height!  Thanks SO much for posting about this now, before I got too far
into the building of the monorail to notice!
