Rendezvous resting on its keel, on the railroad car bed, with the yellow slings tight so we won't tip over! The propellers and stern hang out over the end of the car, it must be a sight from below.

Looking back up the railway, we traveled some 600 feet and dropped 57 feet to the lake below.This system was devised to prevent the Lamprey eel from getting into the upper lakes.
