Some of the bushes sprouting up along the Tennessee Pass right of way at Texas Creek have grown as high as three feet, largely obscuring the rails from view!

It actually took me a second to spot the remains of the dwarf signal at the east end of Texas Creek. Dandelions and other weeds have largely overtaken the small dwarf. No matter. The guts of the signal have been removed and the housing sits with nothing to do; no purpose left in life.

We may be 6,200 feet above sea level, but that doesn't stop an abundance of plant life from growing along the Tennessee Pass right of way. With plenty of sun and water, the plants are winning the battle over man-made tracks.

At the west end of Pinnacle Rock Canyon, we find the 6,190 foot long siding of Texas Creek. Look east out of the siding, you can see that mother nature is working hard to reclaim the tracks. The rail head disappears into a sea of weeds. Also of note is the missing bottom head on the signal.
