They never had track around Barker reservoir. The track from the wye at Sulphide Flats to the dam construction site was built by the dam contractor and went down into the reservoir site. IIRC, Crosson said something abou it being too light for the C&N locos, so cars were moved from Sulphide into Barker Meadow with the contractor's switcher. The only photo I can think of that shows cars in that area shows some C&N and F&CC freight cars, but no locomotives. The construction track was probably gone well before the reservoir was filled. The photo is almost certainly at Glacier Lake. That new photos are gray! I've got my bid in.
