Remarks & Notes

A westbound work train has just passed beneath the 10th Mountain Division Memorial Highway at Pando on Rio Grande's Tennessee Pass mainline. Note that more than a dozen workers with hardhats are riding in the fourth gondola behind the GP30. Traces of an abandoned wye can be found below the elevated telecom poles and above the box cars.
