FZ Yeh, from that road only [blank space] one time because they used to run this Lokey
to [blank space] Mountains and one morning the engine got off the road and they
hit one of the standards, one of the pipes was hangin' and knocked it over
see that's why I'd say from [blank space] at the crossing, ran the entire

AV From the Wetherly Crossing up to #107

FZ Well there was a curve in the Lokey Rd. made a bend in the pipe too same
as the track.

AV And from the engine house it also went up this little alley here towards

out to #10, and years ago it didn't, from the big street here it ran up to
the back street, here's where we lived, and then up along the back
street and it made a right hand turn down to Tipkos, to get down to
Buck Mountain and this - the way the road is now was later, that's up to
Spungins.

FZ Yeh, straight.
