A creek that runs into the Irondale River is located just west of Furnace Falls. I wonder what year this bridge was built.

This old wooden shed is to the SW of the barn. The railway was located beside it and crossed the small creek just off to the right. I believe this was the village's shed flag stop that Ron Brown mentions in his books.

Looking west along the old IB&OR railway bed. Notice the wood on the right side. This may have been part of the original tramway that existed a few yrs. prior to the railway being built to the Snowdon Iron Mine.
