Continuing our tour:
On the northeast side of the section house was an area with a large amount of coal fragments:
Maybe this is where the coal bin was for heating purposes.
Near the front of the section house were the remains of a harmonica:
and part of a child's toy car from the 1930's:
Between the section house and bunk house were scattered piles of cans & bottles:
All of the bottles I saw were screw top as used in the 1930's.I only saw one fragment of purpled glass. Apparently the bottle bandits have raided this location...
To be continued....
