Train-C: Train-related seen from train

Train-C: Train-related stuff seen from train


Rosemary was impressed by the concept of snow sheds.

They built sheds, like this example, in places

most susceptible to severe drifting.







---------------------

There were several water towers identical to this along the line.

Some are still in service (daily use), at least one is a

reconstruction/reproduction using original plans & materials.

This fire car followed the train about 1/4 mile behind.

They would put out anything
that might be lit by sparks from the engine.

Forest Service required this as a condition of operation.
