If you continue another 300 meters along the same road which takes you to the Gulch, it will go under the former railroad underpass. The tracks have been removed, but this used to be the Railway line between Carentan and Baupte. Members of the 6th Para Rgt advanced from west to east along the north side of the tracks and some of them went all the way to the railroad station in Carentan on 13 June 44. C/506th was subjected to a terrific artillery barrage at the north side of the railroad overpass after the Germans retreated.
