West Heppner Junction Fragment

This piece is hard to find, hard to get to and hard to do much with. I found it using satellite views on Google Maps. It's maybe 100 feet long. To the west, it was buried by the railroad, to the east, it was blasted away to make room for the railroad. A few more details with each photo.

"This grade intrigued me, but it turns out it's the old railroad grade."
