Rob N. BCFP Camp 3 , Bridge over Nitinat River ,on rail grade connecting Tuck Lake to Camp 3 was washed out in 1948 or 1949 .View attachment 138009

Always been curious if there was rail at Tuck because one section through the trees is flat like it had been a railway. Certainly can't find any information on it.

The area surrounding Tuck Lake was logged by Railroad from the Camp 3 Div. . When the New Growth was Truck Logged in the late 1990's - early 2000's some of the roads were rebuilt Railroad grade .

hello everyone as a port renfrew resident I have been keenly following in the footsteps of many before me, my family the Phillips have been here a long time, I have visited all the sites of past, found an abundance of left behind artifacts, logging equipment and many unspoken treasures, my latest quest is camp 2 and its artifacts of past, is there anyone within this group that can provide a map of the many rail lines and spurs within the San Juan valley
