Montpelier, ID: UP Office/Depot, Railyard & Roundhouse and Lincoln (US-30) Highway

Depot: (Satellite)
Roundhouse: (Satellite)

Lincoln (US-30) Highway Overview

UP still uses this depot. I'm surprised their microwave tower is still standing. Fiber optic cables made them obsolete in most places.

Note the remnants of a roundhouse foundation in the lower-left corner.

Most of the tracks in the railyard still exist. But they are very full. Are they being used for storage?
