Do you think they have a big enough "spot mark" for the water stop? We might need some bigger rocks there, or perhaps a nice flashing light hooked up to the solar panels. Somebody ought to cut them in on the old "spot mark" which was to simply line yourself up with the window under the section house "Cumbres" sign.

If you pulled down on the spout, it would swing around under the passenger car roof across the platform. You had to make sure to tell the looky-loos on the platform to duck or they'd get brained by the spout.
