In that last one the terminal looks like it was extended a few feet.

[floridaskier]

Ya, that does look like an addition. Wonder why. Doesn't look like there's anything in there that sticks out from the regular box

[iceberg210]

I never noticed that but you're right it does stick out
Huh

Yea dude, I got them. I might work on that page later tonight and get Utah finished up.

[iceberg210]

Great I'll send you some more and by the end of next season we can have all of Utah wrapped up in terms of pictures for the lifts at least.

It appears that addition is part of the design. If you look through the windows you'll see the APU radiator right up next to the wall. It's possible the APU was upgraded later to a bigger size but that really wouldn't require an addition.
I also like how the staircase to the motor room uses the shack as a landing... Yan liked to use lift shacks in a multipurpose fashion, I guess.

[iceberg210]

Great job on Brainhead Cameron just don't forget the three rope tows

[floridaskier]

I remember the old Clipper triple at DV used the shack as a landing like that too. It was a Yan triple with the round-ended box. 1983-1999. Now Silver Lake Express, 99 CTEC HSQ

"In that last one the terminal looks like it was extended a few feet."

The extension was added to provide room for a tertiary drive (actually the original Ford 460). When the full-rated, speed-regulated Diesel replaced the original evac-only engine, the old gas V-8 was flipped around backwards and run in reverse gear for evac purposes. This allows us to run the Diesel continuously while loading public - and it's a lot less trouble than a cat-powered hydraulic motor. We did this to two lifts.


"I also like how the staircase to the motor room uses the shack as a landing... Yan liked to use lift shacks in a multipurpose fashion, I guess."

That wasn't Yan's idea. The LM department added the stairways in 1994. Op shack seemed like a handy landing.

Kudos to your department, then. Seems to work well, definitely better than the ladders that were welded onto the deck originally. We've had two that have cracked right at the deck.
