The Sandbox Route |
|
|
|
|
|
The mine- |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
Here is a picture of the mine from the windows of the chemical plant. Two full cars wait for power to pull them away to a powerplant somewhere in the distance. |
|
|
|
Maple Street- |
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
The road leads past a few businesses along along the tracks. Exxon refills the gas tanks of over-the road truckers and local drivers. An old warehouse from days gone by now houses a small machine shop next to Maple Street. Petroleum distilates used in the manufacture of roads and plastics are the main source of traffic along this route as the manufacture of durable goods has shifted to other markets. |

|
|
The Bluffs- |
|
|
|
|
|
Blasted rock surrounds the route through the valley known as the sandbox. |
