Castle Rock was a full functional siding when I hired out. Both the house track and the siding on the north end access are stubbed and the switches removed. Castle Rock siding was 5700 feet at one time. The Castle Rock depot, was beige in color. It has been sold and was once a private residence. I don’t know who owns it now. Where I parked was railroad property, and I still have railroad ID’s and a vest in the truck. The brown building by the staged emergency motor, belongs to the Rural Electric Utility, that serves a lot of Douglas County, south of Lone Tree and Highlands Ranch. The Locomotive is a GE ES-44-AC. It is 4400 HP on 6 powered axles. It is Alternating Current. It is DP equipped, so it can be a DP lead or a DP link unit. If the DP radio link is not activated, it can be “just” one of the bunch, either lead or trail.
The emergency unit this time an EMD SD-70-MAC at 200 am, spotted where the Video ES-44-AC was located
