RR Museum
Around
the yard
Note the
old SP narrow gauge box cars sitting on the ground
as storage.
This car
barn is new, and I don't believe there was anything
at this
location before.
Also note
the ingeneous way that the folks were able to use
regular
ties in place of switch ties......
Pretty slick
for making due.......
This is looking
south down the Owens Valley.
On the left
is the original gallows type
turntable
that was in service right till the end.
Another note
on the ties, these came from the
"Jawbone
Branch" , the SP's Lone Pine Branch
that was
finally tore out in the late 90's.
The Museum
was able to obtain alot of ties and rail from the savage company.
Here's a
little better detail shot of the turntable........
Looking back
northeast towards White Mountain peak
which has
a nice thunderstorm happening when these were shot.
It sounded
like artillery fire out that way !
