About 10 years ago there was 2 palms growing between the tracks, each at least 10 feet tall.

Here is a map of the area from one of my UP map books.

Note the condensed version of the branch that leads to Cargil... lol

FYI ... it looks very little like that to the east anymore. They cleared all the brush and trees out... and you can clearly see a gap of rail missing also now as well as a sign in the middle of the row. That took place a few weeks after your images were taken Tim.

Chris - Crosses the grade at least 10 times a week.

Well if you click on the East picture you can faintly see the sign. I totally forgot to post the pictures that I took from there. (I see to be doing that a lot lately.)
