St Maries Yard

The yard in St Maries is where most of the action on this railroad happens. There used to be many log cars stored here and switched into the Potlatch sawmill until the logging line was shut down in 2008; now, most of the tracks towards Plummer from the engine house don't seem to be used. This shows how dated the bing.com aerial view is; there's still plenty of log cars in the yard (they've since been scrapped).
We'll work in from the main line towards the far sawmill. After coming into the yard, the Potlatch mill is the first major point. (http://binged.it/OQSPYi) It ships both plywood and lumber, using boxcars and centerbeams. Next, there is a rec complex opposite some interesting trackside structures (http://binged.it/OQT5GF). This may be where the tank cars full of road binder are sent in the spring and summer, as the Google Earth program says the St. Joe Oil Co. is about right there. This stretch of track is also the yard lead, as seen at the beginning of this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIbissaC8W4&list=PLDA6213C4DA9FD7B4&index=6&feature=plpp_video).
Directly past this point is the heart and soul of the yard. Here, from left to right (http://binged.it/MJe1tu), are a yard which seems to store MoW equipment and cars in need of repair, the large engine and repair shops, the main class tracks, and the old MILW depot.
Continuing on, there is an overpass and then a wye to the log branch (http://binged.it/OQUblN). The line then continues out of town to the Stimson lumber mill, loading only centerbeams (http://binged.it/OQUgpp).
