The Toby Valley is peppered with logging and mining railroads. Belmouth, Laurel, Coward, Vineyard, Jenkins, Baghdad, Curry, Walburn, Mead, and Brandy Camp Runs all had standard or narrow gauge logging railroads built up them in the 1890s and early 1900s. There was a standard gauge RR just south of the Empire Tunnel that switchbacked up the hill and extended for severa miles into the woods. There was another standard gauge RR built up the hill from Carrier that extended 8 miles or so into the woods. I have been walking several miles of these railroads over the past year or so and they're in pretty good shape! You can see the tie indents in several sections on all of them, and every once in a while you'll find a spike or bridge support.
