South of Colorado Springs, in the small town of Fountain, CO, the single track main end and two tracks continue south the rest of the way to Bragdon. A southbound coal load crosses Duckwood Road on Main 1. It was once here that the Santa Fe main crossed over the Rio Grande main prior to the Joint Line being operated as the Joint Line. You can still see evidence of the dirt embankment on either side of the tracks where the Santa Fe tracks existed over 100 years ago.
