The Ties Left Behind at Alpine Tunnel - part 2

This is a continuance of photos I took of remaining ties along the route between Hancock and the east portal of Alpine Tunnel.  These are taken on the walk east from the tunnel toward Hancock.

This photo is still a short distance from East Portal.  Remaining ties on this segment have survived when rock fall has covered them from the elements and pushed hikers and (in the past vehicles) from being on them.

This is the same as the above shot but with less light.

As the roadbed enters the wooded stretch (roughly the two miles toward Hancock), more ties have survived.

This stretch, like a number in this section, has been nearly overtaken by vegetation and, thus, nature has inadvertently preserved the ties.

Another shot of the same section.
