Re: Bodie Railway

HELLO BOB.......
AS TO THE BODIE RAILWAY....DISMANTLING WORK BEGAN IN LATE JULY OF 1918.....BEGINNING AT THE
BODIE END....THEN DELIVERING THE RAILS TO MONO MILLS....FROM THERE THEY WERE SHIPPED BY TRUCK TO BENTON STATION TO BE LOADED ON THE SP CO.
NARROW GAUGE. OVER NEAR MONO MILLS YOU CAN FOLLOW R/W FOR MILES WITH LOTS OF TIES STILL IN
PLACE !......A GREAT NUMBER OF THEM STILL GOOD!..
REMEMBER THEY HAVE NOT SEEN A TRAIN CENTS 1918 !....
I HERE TALK ABOUT A FLAT CAR BODY 0R TWO LOCATED NEAR THE SWITHBACK NEAR BODIE ?.......
THERE IS A MARKER ON THE ROAD EAST TO MARK THE SITE OF THE B. & B. RY. CO. ROAD CROSSING
PUT UP BY ANCIENT AND HONORABLE ORBER OF E CLAMPUS VITUS....ECV !.....
HOPE THIS HELPS A LITTLE.....
