This caught my eye in the yard at Minturn...I found it rather ironic that this derail in the yard is in fact aligned for the derail position! Ensuring the phantom cars do not roll onto the mainline that will have no traffic coming.

For many, many years the sound of diesel engines (and steam before that) echoed off these rock walls. Gone are those days as the yard in Minturn has been gathering nothing but weeds and rust for almost 15 years now.
