Yes, that's a rather long aisle. From camera to the end of the peninsula (in the distance) is around 45 feet.

On the left is tunnel 2 and Robert's Creek (above) with Redland below in the land down under.
On the right is Crab Tree Creek (still filled with slow-flowing plywood). The town of Abner will eventually spring up on the backdrop side of the creek. Abner is located on the Toledo branch which at this point is only cork roadbed.

The Toledo branch joins the mainline at Albany Junction (beyond Crab Tree Creek) and beyond that is Junction City. Someday, hopefully soon, an elevator complex will sprout in the foreground where the box cars are spotted.
