With a sagging roof and bowing walls,
Saltillo Station is near collapse
in this photo.
This is the remains of the
Woodvale Mule Barn. It was burned
by an arsonist.
The north end of the Woodvale yard sports a well preserved switch mast.
A snowy scene of slim rails dusted white in winter's embrace.
The scene is along Trough Creek between
Robertsdale and
Woodvale.
This appears to be a air ventilation duct for
RI&C Mine #5.
The collapsed building in the foreground was likely the
mine car repair shop for
RI&C Mine #5.
In the right distance is the
RI&C Boiler House.
Here is a closeup of the
RI&C Boiler House.
This is the mine opening to
RI&C Mine #1. This was the first mine opened on the EBT.
The Rockhill Furnace Shops as seen from the
Markle House.
In the brush behind Railways to Yesterday, the remains of
the Rockhill Furnace.
The brick building is the enginehouse and the hot ovens would
have been in the immediate foreground. The two 70' stacks
were just left and right out of the photo.
South of the Coal Dock
resides the EBT's only 4-bay hopper, #1074.
Near the south end of the
Rockhill Furnace Yard the yard crosses over Jordan Run
on this concrete culvert.
On the way up to Wrays Hill Tunnel
one walks along Coles Curve, a mini-
horseshoe curve.
Near Wrays Hill Tunnel
is the north Actuator Pole. This pole held a switch that was used by the
crews to open and close the tunnel doors without stopping.
Wrays Hill Tunnel as viewed from
it's watchman shanty site.
This is the mechanism that operated the door, whether triggered by the watchman
or the remote actuator.
Reggie Arford kindly holds up the Tel-Tale that warned of a load that would not clear
the tunnel. You would not want your head hit by those metal bars.
