The weeds are doing their best to reclaim the land at the west switch of Minturn. Actually, considering there hasn't been a train on these rails in nearly 15 years, things still look pretty descent.

Thanks for the excellent presentation in photography. Please keep us railfans out here along the rails of America posted as to the condition and future of the most magnificent mountain railroading in the country. I'd love to see someone like Dennis Washington with MRL or even BNSF get it and run it if UP wants to play games with it. Please don't turn it into a bycicle freeway. This Line was railroading at it's best, truely.

looks like the signals are showing a clear aspect for the main. Nice shot.
