Dave Jamiriska and myself were out exploring the Chili Line ROW earlier this week and made an astounding discovery of a completly intact wood box culvert. I have seen many other box culverts on the RGS and Chili Line but none that are in this good of condition. Whats more amazing is that we didn't see this box culvert on 3 other previous trips past this location. I've included a pic here but there are more photos on the Yahoo Chili Line group; [groups.yahoo.com]
This wood box culvert measures 3' x 3' x 33' long. It's remarkable that nearly 70 years after abandonement it is in such good condition.
