| Looking eastward from the opposite direction of the previous photo, the railroad ROW can be seen plainly against the hillside curving around to the left through a small notch. "Needle's Eye" tunnel, aka tunnel 32, is about a mile further on beyond the notch. It's still a little hard to believe that this was a STANDARD gauge railroad that twisted, turned, and climbed over the Continental Divide, but "Uncle Dave" wanted BADLY to get to Salt Lake City with THE most direct route |
