I think the center siding is gone now, but I know you can't see the river through all the trees anymore. Rich is correct, there is a bluff out of view to the right. There is currently a gravel road that goes back to the IC/CN bridge, so it would have just been a matter of parking there and walking up the track 100 yards or so north/west of the IC diamond.

This is standing on the other side of the IC with their back to the bridge and river:

Looking north/west toward where the 1965 photo was taken:

I believe this is the same spot today:

I don't remember the center siding being there when I was there 3-4 years ago but in that last picture it looks like it still is.

I think the bluff is just out of the picture to the right.  There appears to be a substantial ditch between the embankment the track is on and the bluff.

Richard,

Thanks! How would one taken that shot back in the 60's? It doesn't look like there's a bluff on the right of that picture right there in the vicinity of the photographer.

I assume that a lot of trees have grown up along the right of way.

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out where the following location is today.

http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=354144

I assume that it still exists, but it may not have this configuration today. Would anyone know of any track charts for this area and this location?

James
