The tracks move from the (geographic) west side of U.S. 24 to the east side of U.S. 24 at Pando. The overpass offers a great view of the tracks both to the east and the west. This shot here is looking east. Would be a great shot of a westbound, particularly in the morning in the summer months.

Here is a classic view taken at Pando from the U.S. 24 overpass. Many pictures were taken over the years of eastbounds attacking the steep grade from this bridge. Today, huge bushes (as tall as 10 feet high) have grown alongside and in the middle of the siding here at Pando!

Pando is an 8,200 foot long siding located about six miles west of the summit of Tennessee Pass. It is in an open valley that was once home to Camp Hale. Camp Hale was a US Army camp built in 1942 to help train members in the armed forces to fight in winter conditions. the camp remained opened until 1965 when the land was given to the U.S. Forest Service. While it was open, soldier came and went by means of rail and a depot, now gone, at Pando.

Looking east about halfway through the siding of Pando we can see a couple evergreens, in addition to all the weeds, growing in the middle of the siding.

Even though I never got to shoot a train here personally, Pando has always been among my favorite spots along Tennessee Pass. Looking west toward the US-24 overpass, some major bushes are growing just beyond the overpass that have totally enveloped the siding and are nearing the main.
