Russell, I will try to post some maps in the next day or so. The blue print ROW maps that were done for the ICC are prior to the siding being put in at Curry. We do have the 1931 drawing that shows it that I can share. If you turn off of Hwy 7 and go into the rest area at the bottom of the hill where the hwy. starts up to climb above the dam, you are at the location of the Boulder Gorge siding. You can wander around there and see about where it was. There was also a spur there that connected to a logging spur that crossed the river. Shockley and McMurren had a sawmill across the river which was purchased by Stoddard. Not sure the time frame it operated, but probably pretty early. The abutment for the bridge crossing is there if you poke around. Boulder Gorge water tank location is a short way up the road toward the dam. The road there is on the old road alignment with the SVRy grade just below it still in pretty good shape though grown up with brush in places. The concrete footings for the tank are between the grade and the river. The water source for the tank was from a small stream across the river. Originally the tank was fed by a small flume running across, later photos show what must be a pipe located withing a wooden box, then finally they put in a steel pipe that is under the river bed. I can post the ROW map for McCoy. McCoy water tank was up above the actual siding a little ways, though it looks to me like there could have been a siding in front of the tank perhaps early on which would have had to have been removed before the 1916 valuation. So going back to Red Bridge, the concrete footings are in the river where the pile trestle was that replaced the original Howe Truss that evidently was painted red. The railroad grade at the timetable east end of the bridge would be under the Hwy. When the railroad was still in place the hwy went up around a steep cliff above the railroad. You can see rock work where the hwy climbed up, but the actual ledge the hwy ran on has been blasted away to make the present hwy that over lays the grade wider. The location was apparently called "Devil's Gate" early on.
