Aha!  Then it IS the north end of the P&CSRR!  PRCo ownership of the parcel
where the tunnel portal is located kinda ties it down, doesn't it?  And
explains why you don't see the tunnel in the photo. It's behind a building
but is more likely boarded up.
The woodcut attached looks a little fancier than the real thing, doesn't it?
And it distorts the layout, as well.

This site was certainly east of the latter-day Castle Shannon Incline,
wasn't it?
