File comment: This northward view give a good idea of the future of the J&LNG. The mainline will extend to the roadway next to the white building. A trailing point switch will come off and go to the left into a couple of storage tracks and a 9' diameter turntable. Another trailing point switch will come off to the right and go up the hill and possibly continue on eastward. To the right of the main between the crossing and the fence is where the LEF&C caboose will sit.
