State Line Hill

This may not look like much of a photo... and it's not. But it's the first time I've ever run across what I think was originally a cattle guard. This was on a clear place in the middle of a large fill on State Line Hill. There were what appeared to be 2 small concrete abutments that I assume at one time had some sort of bars or rails between them to keep cattle from crossing, similar to what you would see now on a farm road. When the cattle guard was no longer needed it was just filled in with ballast. These were about 6 feet apart. Would make an interesting detail for your layout of the ET.
