At the only other grade crossing on the hill, we see the same train descending a half-mile-long straightaway near the bottom of the grade. This view looks south along the northbound train. The steepness of the grade is obvious.
	Turning around, we look northward down the hill from the same crossing. The head of the train has reached the bottom of the grade at Browndell.

Anyone wishing to visit Horton Hill will find it easily accessible from the dirt county road paralleling the railroad. To enter from the south, head east on Recreation Road 225 from its junction with US 96. After crossing the railroad, go most of the way up a high hill and take the first dirt road to the left (north). To enter from the north, head east on Farm Road 1007 from its junction with US 96 and go to the crossing at the Browndell siding, then backtrack past a bridge and take the first dirt road to the left (south). The dirt road will take you through from either end to the other, crossing the railroad at milepost 86 part way along. The other grade crossing (depicted above) is on a small dirt road turning east from the main dirt road in the segment north of milepost 86. The Horton siding is a short distance down a narrow dirt track angling sharply northwest from the main dirt road in the segment south of milepost 86. It is possible to drive to the location of every photo in this series.
