The Cougar Ridge Lumber Co. decided while the mainline turnout was being replaced, they would upgrade some track. The code 70 rail up to and including the switchback turnout, was replaced with code 83 track. Most of the switchback track to the first trestle was also replaced. The grade in this area was levelled as well. The rock cut was replaced and blended into the remaining scenery, which created an overhang above the lower level mainline.
