The wood surround is now going up on the Flume and we now can get a feel for what the Dartmouth Incline Plane Marine Railway site would have looked like when it was in operation. St. James Church, which you can see in the background of the second photo, would have been present at this time as well.

In the photo above you can see the building progress of the chamber walls inside of the Flume House. In the photo of the Flume House model below you can how the chamber walls were used to position some of the gears.

In the photos above you get a glimpse of the view the flume operator may have had when the Dartmouth Incline Plane Marine Railway was in operation. The next step for the flume construction is to add the wooden surround.
