2: EC-11 is passing by the signal maintainer’s shack in
Rockview.Next stop is East Valley.
Your train slugs its way up the slope, past the closed Kitt Point
station and its signal bridge, and around the curve past the
massive rock face at the apex of Horseshoe Curve.
Your fireman waves to some onlookers, but you must concen-
trate on keeping those 85,000 pounds of effort working. A little
wheel slip could cause the train to stall.
Finally you crest the hill, pass through a short tunnel, and wave
to the tower operator at AE (Annville East) tower as you go by.
He has seen you on the hill, and has alerted the Annville yard-
master of your impending arrival. You pass the Yard Limit
sign, and stop at the signal bridge controlling entrance to
Annville Yard.
