Photo ID: 107451 Date Shot Photo By Sunday, May 6, 2018 Kevin Morgan Location Times Viewed West Sage Gypsum, CO 1203 (Add a Comment) Subdivision Railroad Tennessee Pass (UP) Rio Grande, Union Pacific Looking toward the westbound signals at West Sage, we see the siding diverge from the main track. It is interesting to note that Sage has not spent the entire past 20 years seeing zero traffic. On more than once occasion, UP has used Sage for temporary storage of cars (typically hoppers). Sage is located just seven (or so) miles from the "active" part of the west end of Tennessee Pass. The Minturn Local, out of Grand Junction, still makes weekly trips to the American Gypsum drywall plant in Gypsum, which is just over six miles east of Dotsero.

You can just barely make out the word "Sage" on the silver control box. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
