Jack, your image is at Diamond Yard just North of
Ladysmith and could be seen from the Island Highway.
Comox's track is out of sight in the grass behind the 1005
and joined that of M-B at the upper end of the yd. They shared
trackage rights out to the woods over the same line.

Right after the last run here for 1055, she used a cable to pull down
the tank. This was in December of 1969.
