49930 N Santiam Hwy SE SITE VISIT REPORT <br /> Idanha, OR 97350-9503 State Farm Claim No. 37-11 K4-75P <br /> Prior to the date-of-loss wildfire, there was a railroad-tie "retaining wall" on <br /> the West side of the driveway, which made a 90° turn at the bottom of the driveway. <br /> At this location there were at least five stacked railroad ties. They continued <br /> Northward up the driveway, decreasing in net height above the driveway surface <br /> [See Figures 84, 85, 86, & 87 below.] <br /> y <br /> �j�(rr�� <br /> .._ ..•�=.i. .;h.�:'iy1'c_ «' Std.. e�/ qF7 yam; • <br /> ry: 1 <br /> • <br /> - i <br /> • <br /> -1)) , A, t\ -"^ <br /> min <br /> may, <br /> 1 • <br /> RAILROAD-TIE RETAINING WALL[FIGURES 84, 85, 86, 87] <br /> Photo Credits: Brandi Taylor <br /> The railroad ties burned as a result of the wildfire. It is our opinion that the <br /> damage at the bottom of the driveway, which corresponds approximately with the <br /> location of the 90° turn (corner) of the former retaining wall, was due to sustained <br /> heat against the asphalt from burning railroad ties. It's feasible that tar melted from <br /> the petroleum-enriched railroad ties onto the asphalt where it and the wood burned. <br /> (The term "Burn Spot" is being used to describe this location on the Driveway Plan <br /> and for discussion.)
