BN Train At Crater

Blair says:

"Until Steven J. Brown and I stumbled around on the edge of a cliff in an apple orchard the week before and "discovered" the view across the "crater" above the Trinidad horseshoe curve, I never knew scene existed.! So I was back the following week to shoot this Advanced #12 with the wide angle across the crater as it climbs out of tunnel #11, onto the ledge, and up to the west end of Quincy siding. October 4 (we used to call that Broderick Crawford day, for us old timers), 1991."

Nice shot, got a "Whiteface" SD40-2 in the lead as well!
Was there a siding here at one time? Seems wide for single trackage, maybe in the GN days?

Crater siding was in front of the power a few hundred yards back in GN days.
