The lower terminal is amost of unique design (same as bearpaw 100 feet to the right). The lift is a vault drive, and the entire drive slides and is pulled back by a hydrolic piston. I am guessing it was originally a counterweight and yan added the piston to give more space.

The lower terminal of Backside Express. I forget what year it was built, probably 94. I will check on it later. This entire terminal has northing in it except the tyres and their motor. Talk about wasted space. Not even the bullwheel is in it

The bottom of Arrow Express. IT was built the same year as Backside and Vista. Notice the letters missing on the name. Go Booth Creek!
