The Green Mountain Branch extended up Cunningham Gulch to the Green Mountain mill, just a few hundred feet short of the Buffalo Boy tram house (which still stands and is currently for sale). There is a nice little map of the branch on page 241 of "The Rainbow Route." Also note the photos of the Green Mountain mill on pages 251 and 252. Avalanches were a problem along parts of this line, as is illustrated by the damaged boxcars in the photo on page 251.
