Here's another view of the rock retaining wall:
The wall was about 60-80 feet long

At this point the grade was wide enough for two tracks.
Off the side of the grade was a nice tie with part of a spike still in it:
Here's the end of the spur.
You can see where ties had been located by the growth of the roots of plants.
