What was the name of the location where the train was assemble/disassembled for going to and from the mine? It was (if I recall) split in half with two locomotives taking half to the base of the switchbacks (Garfield?). Then split again with each taking the quarter of a train up the hill. Reversing this for descending.

Could this siding be a location they stopped to recheck the train, adjusting retainers?
