Don't have a photo but until 1929 it would have been possible to see the trains like that at the junction of the D&RGW's Floresta and Anthracite branches just north of Crested Butte. The Anthracite branch curved to the NW, while the Floresta branch looped around the west end of Crested Butte and at one point was above the Anthracite branch. Probably didn't happen too often as the Crested Butte switch engine normally worked both lines.
