End of track         
This is the end of the line. Several trains can line up here at the same time. The building in the photo has three heavy chains laying over it's roof. The winds have been clocked at over 200 MH here. It was about 15 degrees with a 5mph wind on this day. The towers have FM broadcast antennas onthem and the building contains radio transmitters for various radio services. The auto road was closed and the workers in the gift shop and restraunt had to use 4x4s with chains to get to work this day.
