Grand Junction it is! Looking south on the CSX GRS. Clear signal and a coal train in the hole in the real-size image. That is a CSX MOW shed...you can even read CSX on it on Google

I be sure to get a bigger picture next time.

I had fun looking for this once you gave us a smaller territory to look in. My mistake I had it in my mind it was a E-W run, so I ignored the N-S rails and slid right past it looking at other crossings.

Correct that it's on the SMRS. Can you identify the crossing?

Here is a better picture of the Thompsonville diamond. I regret not photographing the caboose. "JT" maybe you can grab one when you go through.
