Mount Evans overlooking Littleton/Mineral Park n Ride for Bus
& Lightrail. Mt. Evans has the highest paved road in the US.

S1401 is the southbound signal past Littleton/Mineral Station.
As you can see it is a double aspect, as it is a switch indicator
signal for the double tail track past the station. The signal can
give a indication of the train heading for either A or B tail track.

heading S/B toward the I-25/Broadway Station.
The photo shows the LRV during the testing phase of the initial 5.3 mile system
Notice the snowplow/cow-catcher is not installed,
and the window is still a slide down style instead
of a swing in type, currently use, on the drivers side.
