Also Two features are visible that were not present in At Launch Complex A, heavy track activity is evident between the launch area and a point 3 to 4 nautical miles due west, or in a downrange The rail spur, identified on which extends southeast from the support base and terminates just short of the sand dunes, has not been continued beyond the point where it ended in At the terminus are a turning wye, several sidings, two branches that curve back toward the support base, and several buildings. The northern curved branch was present in but the southern curved branch has been added since that time. Several strings of rail cars are visible along the spur, indicating continued activity of an undetermined nature. Declassification review by NIMA/DOD NO FOREIGN M SE
