| Title | Relocation of Great Northern Railroad |
| Description | Great Northern Railroad Relocation- This view of the fill and track at Station 573, which slid out on March 14, was taken from the county road on the south side of the draw and about 300 feet west of the track. The twisted rails can be seen part way down the slide. The slide with its accumulation of dirt, rock, and tress did not come to a stop until some of the material had traveled half of a mile, to the toe of the highway fill below.
