2009 Pictures

We returned to this area to search for more artifacts. The combination of more maps and this time of year when the growth is still down helped quite a bit. We parked were the railroad bed intersects a road near Lanesboro. We first walked north past the viaduct then went south towards Brandt. The changes we saw over the past 3 years was amazing.

This is a section of a USGS Topographical map that shows how Starucca Creek flowed. Comparing it to the above map, the change in the creek's direction over the years is seen.

This track schematic from 1937 shows the location of the turntable and the "JN Tower" This also showed (although it is hand drawn) that the creek's path was different back then.
