A bunch of real great guys. I was told this is one of a few of the only places left in the country with this type of double interlocker track arrangement. One of the railroaders I was talking with has worked for the Texas and Pacific, then the Missouri Pacific and finally the UP, totaling over forty years of experience. Even though access to the tower area is limited, there are several areas in the immediate vicinity that offer good vantage points. There's all sorts of traffic moving from all directions.
