    Now we head inside to check out some of the items on display.

    This caboose is partially cut away on the backside and visitors are allowed access inside it.

    A real locomotive cab lets kids young and old play with the controls. My son loved blowing the modified horn.

    This wig-wag was a hit too. It is set up so that visitors can operate it with the push of a button.

    As we get closer top the top of the pass I pulled over and tried to get a picture of the dual tunnel portals but I was unable too.

    Next are a couple of shots in Helper, UT. The tender is sitting south of town in a field. I have no idea of it's heritage.

    The last of the train shots from this trip were these hoppers that are being stored on Desert Siding north of the US 6 & I-70 junction.
