Thanks Matt, I
wasn't aware that the access road is private property.
Last time I was there a BN trainmaster tried to throw my
friend and I out and my friend argued that the road it
self was city property and we weren't leaving the road so
the trainmaster left us alone. The TM was there doing
efficiency tests and didn't want us giving him away. I
thought there was a city owned fishing dock or something
like that at the parking lot at the end back then.

Siding
is still there. The area is question is
BNSF/CN property including the access road –
trespassers be warned.

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.
