Change of line


Perfect example of where after the 1948 flood GN moved the grade. Here in this picture, I'm standing on the relocated grade on the west and can see the 1909-1948 grade on the east side. Just around the bend was bridge #28 which was removed and never replaced in 1949 when the line was reopened. After I took this picture, I hiked over to the old grade and found one old tie with a plate and spike still intact. Telegraph poles still litter the ROW. Some even have wire hanging from them. Looking on the down grade. 2008 photo
