This shot was taken from forest road 625 and shows the low line near the
Ophir loop. The loop would have been to the left of this shot. A train heading
towards the right would be headed back down grade to Vance Junction. The
high line is hidden in the trees above the lower grade. From period photos
I would estimate that it is probably in the area of the lighter colored aspen
trees. On page 146 of "The RGS Story" vol. III is a similar shot taken by
Richard Kindig on May 29, 1949. In this shot, RGS 74 is pulling a Rocky Mountain
Railroad Club excursion up the grade. If you examine the lines in the rock
face near the center of the shot it can be compared to the rock above the
last car in Richard's shot. Photo by Dave Dye on June 4, 2005.
