I have one question...I don't know what it is. You can see two pictures, which there is two doors on the ground next to Eagle Station or Terminal. Is it underground related to the machine area?

Since the bullwheel is mounted in a fixed location in the terminal (meaning it isn't a tension return), a driveshaft is running from the bullwheel to the ground, and a power transformer is located next to the terminal but no motor or gearcase is visible in the overhead portion of the terminal, this lift likely has a vault drive (underground motor room). The uphill terminal would be the tension return terminal in this case.

That is exactly correct Ryan. It's a vault drive on the bottom. In fact while boarding the lift you get to see a really cool array of shafts and universal joints that run the terminal all from the drive in the vault.


Great pictures by the way! Always great to see more pictures of any lift, but then again it's especially great to get pictures of such rare lifts as Eagle.

In the first picture of your third post, you can see the device that connects the bullwheel to the vault drive.

the two large doors when opened access the vault and by using the switch rail directly above the doors one can remove a chair and drop it straight into the shop below . is that sweet or what ?
