| Description: |
While on loan to the C&S, the 346 derailed descending Kenosha Pass as a light engine after helping an eastbound freight on July 25, 1936, killing her engineer, Eugene McGowan. She was rebuilt at the Burlington's shops. |

"Corona" |
| Description: |
Looking westward (RR dir.) at the summit of Rollins Pass, aka "Corona". The railroad ROW comes in from the lower right corner (below and behind the foreground ridge) and curves through the shallow cut near the center of the picture. Old timbers from the snowshed, which covered the tracks, can be seen scattered along the top of the cut and along the ROW. The combination restaurant/hotel, of brick construction, sat on the slightly raised area at the right edge of the picture. |

"Corona" |
| Description: |
Looking eastward from the opposite direction of the previous photo, the railroad ROW can be seen plainly against the hillside curving around to the left through a small notch. "Needle's Eye" tunnel, aka tunnel 32, is about a mile further on beyond the notch. It's still a little hard to believe that this was a STANDARD gauge railroad that twisted, turned, and climbed over the Continental Divide, but "Uncle Dave" wanted BADLY to get to Salt Lake City with THE most direct route |

As viewed from Ptarmigan Point, about a mile west and downgrade from Corona, is the trestle over Riflesight Notch. This is part of a 360 degree loop, where the track passed under itself through tunnel 33 beneath the trestle. |

Riflesight notch |
| Description: |
Though not very accurate, as far as perspective goes, this picture postcard view gives a good idea of the loop. The upper track rounding the hill at right descended the other side and came out through the tunnel below the trestle. Both trains in this picture are eastbound, climbing upgrade. |
