Snow shed continue for the next few miles down the mountain. Seen as a costly solution, the Great Northern made less expensive sheds out of 12 by 12 inch timbers which were reinforced by a concrete wall seen in the picture below. When the line was abandoned in 1929, the timbers were salvaged, but the concrete walls can still be seen today.

This combination snow shed was built in 1911, and extended in 1916 to a total length of 778 feet. By 1918, the railway had covered almost the entire length between Windy Ridge, and the west portal with snow sheds.
