I was looking for more images of St Elmo as, although its covered more than any other Alpine pass location apart from the West Portal, the railroad history and layout and location of the old station and spur is almost completely ignored as its mostly disappeared.
I was rummaging around and found this rather distressed image of the station above the town , but more importantly ( for me at least ) the freight house and cut where the spur takes off down the hill. This area is now almost entirely covered by trees and its impossible to see the lie of the land on google earth . !
