The Glacier Lake area is not easily reached by road. This fire truck is driven by volenteers along the "old Glacier Lake Rd" This road is, today mainly a hiking trail. It is maintained by the railroad as part of its right of way to fight fires that may flare up during thunderstorms in the late summer.
The 6012A negotiates, at a snails pace, the curve in the middle of Torment Gulch. This area is notorius for two reasons. Firstly the radius is narrow and trains have derailed in the gulch on numerous occasions. Five Miles per hour is max speed in this area. The second reason is that this secluded area was where the G&G used to stop to pick up its consignment of pot bundles under the overpass in the background.
