When exploring Tennessee Pass at various times in the past few years, I have seen some growth of bushes near, and even encroaching on, the rails. However, I have not seen anything like this tree at the west end of Wolcott. It has grown to well over ten feet, right between the rails!

In addition to the weeds growing, a few rocks have also gathered near the rails of the siding of Wolcott. The signal head from the siding has been removed. You can still see the pole for the signal with a "P" plate in the distance.

The west end of Wolcott is located right at milepost 319, as you can see here. It is interesting to note that this is the location at which the original Rio Grande (over Tennessee Pass) is closest to the Denver & Salt Lake mainline (now the Moffat), with the exception of the Dotsero Cutoff, of course. Bond is just about ten miles to the north, as the crow flies, from Wolcott.

The siding diverging quite a bit from the main track at the west end of Wolcott. In between the main and the siding, this tree has sprouted and appears to be flourishing.
