The Lind Hole track these days... The first picture is in-between the mainline junction and Jantz Road. The town of Lind itself is off in the distance. Walking the grade from Jantz Road to Lind is effectively impossible because it's become so overgrown. I attempted to walk it a few years ago and found the culvert EE921. Funny thing, I thought I was bushwacking down the grade, saw the culvert, and realized I was actually off by 15 or 20 feet.
At the end of the track, there is indeed some forgotten rail left. It's the only Milwaukee rail left in the entirety of Lind Coulee.

Is this the original line to the plateau to the west, where they had the staging yard when they were building the mainline?
I think I remember you telling me this long ago cause I never knew that!
They should use this Milw rail for the 5056, if and when it ever makes it to the Cle Elum depot.
Yes. Great idea!
