In this final post on the ties remaining between Hancock and the east portal of Alpine Tunnel, we see several long stretches of remaining ties particularly as we get close to Hancock.
Here it seems that the hillside is encroaching a bit on the ties on one side.
Here is my family with my wife leading the way walking over a well-preserved stretch.
One more photo for fun in about the same spot as two photos up. Here I am back in 2003 in my first adult visit to Alpine Tunnel, this time with my wife and before the kiddos came along. And I still had hair...

That is an excellent collection of photos for someone who will never visit the area . good for modelling to get the colours right. Paul R.
I'm glad it's helpful, Paul. The major difference I have seen compared to operational years is there were a lot less trees. I assume many were cut down for the railroad and other mining uses.
