Fall Creek Jct. to Hampton, (1910): This section pertains to the original mainline from Fall Creek Jct., to Hampton, as it was built from 1910 to 1912. At this time, I only have one photo posted, as this section is difficult to acquire material.

Fall Creek Jct., to Hampton, (1952): This section pertains to the Lookout Point Dam, (Meridian Dam), relocation project which was completed in 1952 between Fall Creek Jct., and Hampton.

Hampton to Cascade Summit: This section pertains to the mainline from Hampton to Cascade Summit.
