Snow Shed

 
 
A scratch built feature on the SouthWestern, This snow shed will protect track that was accidentally exposed during tunneling operations thru the mountain. Seems the surveyors miss-calculated and broke thru a depression on the side of the mountain. Because snow can block the line, this snow shed is being built to facilitate winter operations.
