Now past the Agnew Lake dam, we can see the June Lake Loop and Silver Lake is on the left. The tracks below were once used to bring materials
up to the dams. There is a single flat bed car at the top near Agnew dam and they used a cable system to pull the car up and down the mountain.
This rail line looked like something right out of an Indiana Jones movie or amusement park. As you can see the tracks continue left and look like
they drop right over a cliff.

If you think I'm kidding, look at that the drop point which is now above us. Riding the cart must have been one crazy ride. However, the
tram hasn't been used in years and is a terrible state of disrepair. There is this article suggesting that in 2013, they were going to rebuild it,
but the project must have been cancelled. There was no sign of repairs and the overhead powerlines remain.

Looking down the tracks from the same point as the photo above. Yeehaw!
