Winter Park Express
|
The westbound Winter Park Express rolls by the location of what used to be Mesa Oil. You can see the rusted out tanks behind the train. Mesa Oil needed to be served by a local twice a week. After UP decided to reduce the West Local down to one day a week, despite Mesa Oil stating they needed it twice, Mesa Oil moved to a new location in Denver. The old industry is now abandoned, and an RV storage facility has taken over much of the land.

Detector (MP 8.4)

Winter Park Express

The morning Winter Park Express, running about 15 minutes late (and seen here around 22 minutes after sunrise), heads west. The train just passed the high/wide detector at MP 8.4. The detector specifically checks to see if anything is sticking off the side or if there is a car that is too high to fit through the tunnels in the tunnel district. If something is sticking out, it'll break the wire on the detector and inform the dispatcher (and the train, via radio). No problems this morning though!
