Mile 190 McCarthy

According to this site,

The Kennecott copper mines and camp were established about 1908 across from the Kennicott Glacier, five miles north of McCarthy. An early misspelling named the mine and mining company Kennecott, while the town, river and glacier are spelled Kennicott. In 1911, the Copper River & Northwestern Railway carried its first car load of ore from Kennecott to Cordova. Since no gambling or drinking were allowed at the town of Kennicott, nearby McCarthy developed as a colorful diversion for the miners. It provided a newspaper, stores, hotels, restaurants, saloons, a red light district, housing over 800 residents. Kennicott became a company town with homes, a school, hospital, gym, tennis court and silent movie theater. Over its 30-year operation, $200 million in ore was extracted from Kennecott, the richest concentration of copper ore known in the world. In 1938, the mines closed and both towns were abandoned.

The long trestle shown in the previous post entered the town from the west, and the line skirted the town on the north side. Here is a view looking southeast from the low hills north of town:

Here is a view from a wider angle, showing a water tank closer to the town:

I haven't been able to find either a good photo or a map/valuation drawing showing track layout or the exact location of other railroad structures in McCarthy. In this view from farther southwest, the railroad would have run behind the town.

Here is a contemporary view of what looks like a railroad structure, either an agent/operator office or bunkhouse:

A even more recent view of this structure:

In 1953, the freight house was still in existence, along with the track and rails. Speeders were in use for tourist excursions to Kennicott:

I haven't been able to find where these structures may have been in relation to the town photos I've found. They may be more recent than the construction-era photos that are most common. Here is an early wintertime view of McCarthy from the south. The railroad trestle is visible in the upper left:

A railroad turntable still exists in McCarthy, as shown in this video. I haven't been able to determine where this is located in relation to the town, nor in relation to any other trackage. Any insights will be greatly appreciated. Here is a a still photo, but new growth of trees makes identifying its precise location impossible.

The existence of a turntable suggests that locos were turned in McCarthy and shoved their trains the rest of the way to Kennicott.

There is now a carbody on trucks lettered for the CR&NW in McCarthy, but this is clearly a recent placement. The car is a former Alaska Railroad box-outfit car, rebuilt from a World War II troop kitchen car and moved to McCarthy over the highway well after abandonment of the CR&NW.
