Shoring up the line

The curve at the bottom of the Moose Rock Grade developed a negative superelevation, (Not sure there is such a thing ) but what was happening was the train leaned outwards instead of inwards when going around the curve. The outside rail had to be elevated to provide a superelevation. To do this a structure of logs, ties, gravel and dirt was constructed to hold up the rail thrugh the curve.
