(...a
classic case of overkill, but I had the information available...)

This
picture shows a Rail Diesel Car (RDC) which looks pretty much lilke the
stainless-steel beauty which would arrive in Charleston for the trip to
Blue Creek camps Carlisle and Camelot.

The
rail line took us up Elk River, turned right and up Blue Creek, then unloading
campers at the Middle Fork trestle (we think) for the long hike in to the
camps. The girls crossed the creek to Carlisle on a footbridge just downstream
of the rifle range, and the boys would hike further upstream, crossing
the creek on a suspension bridge to Camelot.
