The "Terror Creek Turn" heads west back toward Grand Junction (about to enter into Bridgeport Tunnel) with 27 loads. The Terror Creek Turn runs very infrequently as there is very little coal still coming out of the Terror Creek mine. In Grand Junction, these cars will be broken up and sent on various trains to different destinations.

The sun has broken through the early morning clouds to cast a nice light on this westbound (geographically headed north) "Terror Creek Turn". It is a short coal load coming from the low-producing coal mine named Terror Creek.

One of the few remaining unpatched Espee units at the time of this photo was leading this Somerset-bound coal empty in Dominguez Canyon along the Gunnison River. The head end of the train is approaching the siding of Bridgeport while the tail end is still coming out of Bridgeport Tunnel, 24 miles south of Grande Junction.
