At the crossover at Center Bond, also known as Orestod, two ES44ACs bring up the tail end of a westbound Denver-Provo manifest. It is here at Orestod, which, incidentally, is Dotsero spelled backward, the Craig Branch leaving the mainline. 100 years ago, the Craig Branch was the mainline! It wasn't until the Dotsero Cutoff was built that everything changed, creating a direct route west through the Rockies between Denver and Salt Lake City.
