I see what you mean like there was a switch there but you don't often see an abandoned rail bed where people build on top of it like that first back yard. Do you think the soccer field at the end of the spur was a mine at one time? Look like a field trip to talk to the old-timers in the area and see what their recall is.

I don't know the bust was so thick there that these was no way to tell.

Did you talk to any of the residents? They always have a good story and will probably remember what was there in years gone by.
