El Portal Photo #05 This picture may have been taken at Camp Curry or one of the other camps in the Valley. The platform might be for loading stage passengers. It depicts a El Portal Baggage sign and below it appears to be an express sign. To the left of the signs is the upper section of a Fairbanks scale.
