Greetings!
Roy G. Genedict drew out the Library and Drake interurban lines showing
each stop and some of the elevations along the way - 1963. My copy is
not clear.
DRAKE LIBRARY
South Hills Jct - 880' above sea level
Castle Shannon - 1050'
Washington Jct - 1100' Washington Jct - 1100'
1/2-way to Mine #3 - 1150'
Santa Barbara - 1190' Hillcrest - 1230'
Hulz - Beth Vill 1150' Mesta - 1200'
Bethel Church - 1100' Latimer - 1100'
Brookside Switch 1050' Logan - 1050'
Walther-Drake Wye 1000' Library Acres-Leonard 1000'
Simmons - 950'
The rise from Wash.Jct to Mine #3 is quite steep - way too much for a
RR!
