A tree at the east end of Avon is growing around the base of the signal and up between the signal and the control box! It'll be interesting to see what the tree looks like in another twenty years...

A look at the switch at the east end of Avon. The switch has been taken out of "power mode", which is not surprising as power has been supplied to it in two decades!

The electrical box for the power switch at east Avon has been opened and it has been stripped of its wiring. Note the switch point also moved a little way away from the main. The hand throw on the power switch shows why.

Looking east from Avon, the rails do not appear to be all that bad. Welded rail was laid here before the pass was closed. The tied, on the other hand, look to be in pretty rough shape!

A look to the west at the east switch of Avon on Tennessee Pass. The siding here is over 8,300 feet long! Perfect for meeting long trains that, in all likelihood, will never traverse the line again. Note the hand throw has been set such that the switch points are centered between the rails.
