Slide Fence at Soapstone  Contributor's Pick!       
Pan Am has several slide fences installed near the bottom of historic rock slides in the Deerfield gorge. Here you can see one on the right, just above the spine flat car. If disturbed, the slide fence trips the signals on either side of this section to red / stop to hopefully prevent a wreck due to boulders on the track.
