Russ, I was trying to remember what the narrows area looked like before the current highway was built. I know that this place was drastically changed by the new construction. Here are a few pictures of the narrows way back when.
492 leading a Cumbres turn in May 1964
I wonder if the hill behind the train is where the metal retaining walls were installed in 1971
Here are a couple of additional narrows views that are hard to reconcile with the current road layout (November 1967)
