Touhey just a memory

This grainy July 16, 2012 photo shows the last moments of the Touhey Elevator before a wall of fire engulfed the structure.  A large fire swept the area, thus erasing the last remaining sign that any railroad activity ever took place in Touhey.  Touhey Elevator before the fire.  Photo was taken south of the elevator.

Bridge #18

1948 flood damage to the 170' trestle #18

Nov 2007 photo of same location and view as above.  After '48 flood the tracks were located to the west side of the creek as seen in this photo.  Bridge #18 eliminated.  Looking on the down grade.  1949 aerial of this location.

About a half mile down the tracks from the tunnel, this speeder and its rider, pose for a picture taken by Ryan Reed.  March 8, 1986.

Bridge #28

GNRY officials inspect the damaged remains of bridge #28 during the summer of 1948.  Looking on the down grade.  Picture provided by the Skykomish Historical Society.

June 2012 photo showing approximate location of bridge #28.  The bridge crossed the creek just out of view if this picture to the right.  You can see where the line used to run prior to the 1948 flood on the right.   GN relocated the line to the left and eliminated this bridge completely.  I'm standing on the revised grade location looking on the up grade approximately where the basalt rock face is in the above photo.

Train entering the north tunnel portal at Douglas Creek Falls on the down grade.  Picture taken on October 28, 1983 by the late John P. Henderson.  Here is a picture of the train earlier that morning on the
 way up.
