erly direction from the southwest end of Irene
to the east end of Helen. Concrete riprap from
demolished stations on Janet was used to hold
the fill in place.
To facilitate the construction of Station
1210.01, a 100x100-foot man-made island was
built on the north side of Helen and was connected to the island by a 24-foot-wide by 250foot-long causeway. Both the man-made island
and the causeway were enclosed by 3-inch rough
planking which was bolted to rail pilings. Fills
for the island and causeway consisted of com-

out a small part of the fill, but the damage was
quickly repaired.
