Here ya go. 1984 v.s 2010. I think trackage was abandoned by this date as all cement mills were closed but track was still inplace, as was crossing flashers. This is yet another line CR did everything they could to erase its existence. I walked the whole line and found only 1 tie off to the side. The whole IRR is now a paved trail and heavily used by bikers.

Yes it is a boxcar. In the first pic you can see the slide door on the side. Today it has been covered in paneling. It is used as a storage shed. All the workings under it (brakes, hoses, etc) are still there. The long wooden building next to it has a new roof and is being used for something...storage or something.
