I made track support to bring the upper line down from the low end of the High Trestle to the level of the lower line.
Originally it was 4.8 Metres (16 Ft) in length with a 255mm (10 inches) drop over the length which gave a 5% grade.

After thinking about the 5% grade and decided that it may be to steep, so I extended the horizontal to 6.1 Metres (20Ft ) with the same drop of 255mm (10 inches) this gave me a grade of 4.1% which should be OK.

Because the support rails are in between fence posts I had to put in a small post between the fence rails, I use some galvanized C Purlin to do it.
