I remember riding the line back in what had to be the early 1960s but could have also been in the 70s. Business was good as there were two diesel powered trains, that met at he long siidng in the middle. They kept to a tight schedule to keep the meets at the right place and they were moving meets when I rode the train. Back then, you could even stay over at the view point and catch the next train back.
