So, when the tracks headed to Douglas, did they cross over Hwy 2 and continue in on the south side? I drive through there frequently and I'm always trying to figure out the route they used. Obviously not much left of the grade to see.<br /><br />John, EphrataNP Fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13380397747274909403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5675727147549840003.post-5220273537174410762024-02-06T17:44:54.820-08:002024-02-06T17:44:54.820-08:00I still haven't chased down his book yet.
