For you signals fans, it is interesting to note that the signals on Mains 2 through 4 are absolute signals while the signal on Main 1 (far left) is actually an intermediate! Note the that the yellow signal has a "G" (grade) plate as well as a number board, making it an intermediate. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.

In addition to the four main tracks along the Orin Subdivision, there are five leads for the Antelope Mine. Two are inbound only, two are outbound only, and the center can be used for either. Here, a Jacob's Ranch Mine load proceeds east on a clear signal on Main Four while a new Antelope Mine load pulls toward the junction to wait for its turn to depart.

It is not proceeding east on a clear signal as it approaching Converse Jct, the location where the Antelope Mine leads meet with the main tracks. In the distance, a maintenance vehicle drives along an access road, kicking up some dust. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
