Re: NG? Columbia River Jetty Construction #6

There was also an issue of Oregon History Quarterly, I think in the 1960s, devoted to this with many photos of the operation and locomotives. I sure wish I had a copy!
On the other side of the river, at Ft. Canby Washington, there was also quite a railroad for the construction of the jetty. This image is from the Library of Congress collection.
