Unknown cement foundation at the camp along Rock Creek (6/1/01)
An old logger's boot was found on the east, or uphill side of the mainline. (6/1/01
Here are some intact paneling at on the west side of the mainline through camp. (6/1/01)
This pile of dishware was found downhill and towards the creek from the west side of the mainline
through the camp at Rock Creek. (6/1/01)
Here is a pile of broken cups at the camp at Rock Creek. There were other piles of tins that lay nearby
as well. (6/1/01)
Although difficult to see, this is the collapsed remains of the coal bunker at the camp along Rock Creek.
The bottom part of the posts were still in place, as was the coal that was left there. It is the black stuff
towards the back of the picture. This was on the east side of the mainline. (6/1/01)
Here is the only standing remains of the trestle across Rock Creek at the camp. These are on the
north side of the creek. (6/1/01)
Here are the same standing trestle remains on the north side of the creek. (6/1/01)
This obviously cut rail was found laying beside the grade about a couple dozen feet west of the trestle
across Rock Creek. (6/1/01)
I don't know exactly what this is, but it looks like a ventilation stack that would go on top of a camp car. It
was found on a section of grade that is intact on the north side of Rock Creek just before the first trestle
on that side of the creek from the Rock Creek trestle. (6/1/01)
These are some of the few pilings of the first trestle on the north side of Rock Creek that are still
standing. (6/1/01)
This piling is all that remains of the mainline along North Rock Creek Road about a mile west of the
junction with South Rock Creek. (6/1/01)
This appears to be a water tank for the steam locomotives. It was found on the switchback, or spur that
followed East Rock Creek Up its canyon. (6/1/01)
This cable has been in this tree for an obviously long time. (6/1/01)
These are ties that are still left in place up one of the spurs off of the secondary line that is now
Halfway Cabin Road. (6/18/01)
Piling still standing of the trestle near the beginning of the secondary line that is now Halfway Cabin
Road. (6/25/01)
Here are two pilings and one of the cross boards of the trestle that lies near the beginning of what is
now Halfway Cabin Road. (6/25/01)
This is the same shot as above at a different angle. (6/25/01)
This appears to be an old stove lying near what appears to be an old camp. I have only been there
once and didn't have enough time to look around that much. This is on one of the spurs off of what is
now Halfway Cabin Road. (6/25/01)
Playing in the snow trying to look at some more grades(1/24/09)
Looking back at the short spur that takes off of this grade. The short spur is to the left, the long main spur
is to the right.(1/24/09)
An old bucket found at the junction of a short spur, close to the end of the spur.(1/24/09)
Throughcut along the grade just before the split with a short spur to the right.(1/24/09)
The cut bank of rock. Note the red volcanic color of the rock here.(1/24/09)
Tie striations just before the second trestle on this spur.(1/24/09)
Some of the remains of the second trestle on this spur line.(1/24/09)
One piling still standing at the third trestle on this line. As you can see, this area has been burned
before.(1/24/09)
Some burned and fallen piling on the west side of the creek crossing of the third
trestle.(1/24/09)
My friend Roman waiting for a second before going through the next throughcut.(1/24/09)
Although difficult to make out, these are tie striations.(1/24/09)
In between Spur:
This long spur takes off from an apparent camp along South Rock Creek Road, and climbs, parralleling SRC until it just
about reaches Tom Rock Road. At this point it ends. There isn't much left on this line at all, except for some rotting
trestle pilings and some striations. The grade does have two short spurs that take off from it, and is crossed by two
forest roads that were built in 2004.
