The Pictures below show the remains of the trestle that used to cross the Quinalt River. Obviously the trestle structure

These two structures sit on a wye across Highway 101 from the old Crane Creek reload, which is now the Crane Creek
mill. The water tank was used to water the locomotives, and today provides water to fire trucks in the summer for fire
patrol. The other crib structure was possibly the fuel oil storage or sanding tower. Unfortunately, all that is left is the
crib structure itself. Each of these occupies one leg of the wye. (5/4/07)

Rayonier's million dollar cut. This is not a valley across a ridge line that the road runs through. It is
actually a cut through a ridgeline that Rayonier did, at about a million dollars, to get their trains north of
Camp 3. (10/14/08)
