On the top of the hill is a three pole derrick with a well, connected to a jerker line underneath it. It is finished off with three trees and some bushes. A fence is located at the front left corner. "The Petrolia Spur" is in yellow lettering at the bottom right. A connector for a train display is taped to the bottom. |
