Is that botom terminal just a different style of M-D from Burgess Creek and Headwal at Steamboat or is at a modification done after install?

Theres a place for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes.

If you check out the Miner-Denver manufacturer page, you will see that this was a MD terminal model.

That is indeed the original Miner Denver station. There is only one Miner Denver that I have seen in MN. The tenson system is in horrible condition. They put in a hand winch and have to tighten it by hand.

The hand winch is probably there to adjust the height of the counterweight. You can do that on smaller lifts, where on larger ones you have to tie the dead end of the counterweight rope to something larger like a snowcat.
