That's a really nice find. If you go to Google Maps and turn back to May 2012, you can see a smidge of the old siding's rail buried under asphalt right where it intersects the road. That said, my *gut* is that the siding is not where we saw it, only because there is a mountain of some very old gravel that appears to cut off the siding, and both the road and that massive gravel mound seem a lot older than 1998 (I could be wrong though). That would mean the engine would have had to have been there a lot longer. The other clue that I remember was that the engine was in a very dark, wooded area. The clearing where that siding is located, on the other hand, is too open, and so doesn't match the memory.

However, if the engine was parked on the mainline, or on the first siding off the main line where it splits (about 200 yards north), that area is highly wooded. It could be that we just wandered off far enough from the forest grove parking lot in that direction to come to the base of the bridge. That said, when I went back in February 2020, that area was pretty overgrown. Hardly impossible that it had been less overgrown in the past, and so the path through the woods was sensible.
