              Here the tracks run underneath, on a shal-
         low downgrade arch to the right where it
         emerges through a wooden tunnel portal on
         the opposite side of Mount Idy, in Pack Sad-
         dle Gap.  There is a small yellow depot, its
         back against the hard rocky structure of the
         mountain.  Across the tracks, opposite the
         depot is a rundown building being refur-
         bished by the G&NH Historical Society.
         This is an actual society with personal ties to
         friends of Jim, some of whom are portrayed
         in miniature, working on the structure.

              Just outside of Pack Saddle Gap the
         tracks split.  The arm going towards the right
         follows close along the rocky cliff before
         dead ending among the vines and shrubs that
         climb the gray rock.  The tracks that split off
         to the left enter back under the mountain
         through another wood tunnel portal.  This
         line makes almost a full loop underneath
         Mount Idy before emerging on the outskirts
         of Wycomb.
