1. Historic aerial image of Bagby before the town was torn down. Bagby was a station stop on the Yosemite Valley Railroad.
In addition to the large station, Bagby also had a turntable and twin water towers. The rails were pulled after service ended in 1945.
The town was razed in the 1960s to make way for the waters of Lake McClure when the New Exchequer Dam was built.
