A side-view
of the mechanical switch that was used to move trains off of the mainline
and on to the siding. The switch has a lock to prevent unauthorized
tampering of the unit.
Another view
of the mainline and spur, looking northeast. Some extra metal rails
lie along the right-of-way.
This section
of the mainline is heavily washed-out. Track ties are not visible
at all along this section of track. Look at the bottom right of this
picture, and notice the seam in the right rail. Trains will have
to proceed with caution along this section of track.
This at-grade
crossing has the typical metal plate that separates the tracks from the
street.
Further up
the line, a layup track goes off of the mainline.
