The single locomotive pulls a string of bottom dump cars and four specially constructed segment cars. There are 12 dump cars along with the four segment cars. The train spends most of its time underground, making trips to the outside only when removing material or bringing in more tunnel segments. ! I! The track plan looks like a giant letter I J with the upright section in the tunnel and the hooked portion outside. The far northern section of the rail road comes out of the tunnel just north of the Union Pacific mainline and heads for the vicinity of the Rocky Butte Jail. The hooked portion contains a trestle from which the bottom dump cars unload their material. The spoils are then removed by a front-end loader and hauled to the disposal site. The hooked portion also contains the storage area for the pre-cast tunnel segments. ·--·8· ------.- . PAcIFIC NORTHWEST CHAPTER - . ' . . � .
