Before you go

These open questions need confirmation; Wayproof does not fill them with guesses.

At what source-published mileage does each named Chickenfoot and Gem spur leave the Little Lakes mainline?

Official sources establish the spur identities and lengths, but the spur and mainline features do not share exact endpoints and no source publishes their mileage positions along the unsplit 3.104216-mile mainline. The graph therefore preserves branches_from context without proximity-snapping a traversable junction.

Open question. Linked evidence does not resolve this gap.

No specific claim evidence is linked to this question.
