This location on the Ridge Route required steam power to make the cut, which was made narrow to save on roadbuilding expenses. Today it is best used as a one lane road, shared with any drivers coming from the opposing direction. The color of the rock - a yellowish hue - may have led to the naming of this cut after a Northern European country's inhabitants. Looking northbound. Photo from private collection of User:Avnative.
