May 2008 Pictures

With the development of the new Centerpoint Industrial park we were curious as to what changes have occurred. We saw two years ago the ties pulled out in one area. Here as we started, this appears to be the remains of the "Wye" as shown in the above map. An explosive company (now abandoned) probably developed over this and erased its remains except for this.
