Then there is this photo, dated to August 21st, east of Breckenridge:
The location is cited as on Boreas, near MP 107. And there's the chalking that you mentioned.

Thanks Jim,  I have since found the EBay pic, Mineral Belt V-II pg96 sepia toned   which also added to my confusion as to where I thought I had seen it.

the photo referenced with the chalking is one of several scattered over several books at that area, of which I'm now certain the EBay photo will belong to....which now begs the question would the locality be known as Bacon, since the line had to hook around Nigger Hill and Rocky Point first.

Looking at the #58 headed upgrade with that peak behind, only the curve above Gold Pan trestle fits since the intervening ridge behind Hookeye isn't high enough.

See Digerness got the grade and direction wrong, pg131 Min Belt 2.
