Let's play "Find the siding..." |
| Description: |
Continuing east from that first broken rail, heres the view down the main track yes, Caddoa siding is to our left! Being just a little bit lower in elevation than the main track, it got drifted in very easily during the storms. |

| Description: |
Just east of MP 514, heres an example of battered rail ends, along with a few missing angle bar bolts. Buddy replaced the bolts, and the welders had a long job later in the day rebuilding the rail profile. |
