They did a lovely job of adding the cantilevered upper deck. The gate is self-closing self-latching and interlocked with the lift.

The underbelly of the upper station access platform cantilevered off the retaining wall. The top end was so close to the ground that we mounted the panel on the retaining wall and built a little cover for it.

Looking down the track to the lower station. we set the track so it split the difference between 3 trees on the left side and the single tree on the right side.

This was a tricky build, the top end of the first 20' section had to be lifted on the top of the 10' high retaining wall while the bottom end still needed to be about 10' off the ground. We used our “Gantry Crane” to make it easy and possible. Here we we see the first section in and the second section up. Each 20' section of track weighs almost 400 lbs.
