This color shot show a bit of the old water tower footings. The historic photo is from the Pacific Northwest Chapter of the NRHS Holst photo collection. The colapsed bld. is to the right of the 251.
One of the my favorite railroad videos is the one on the Uintah from the Colorado RR Museum. Those of you that have it may remember the mournful fiddle music as background throughout the video. I usually find myself whistling that mournful tune when I'm out at these places where trains no longer run.
