Escalante-Western Railway, Lee Ranch Jct.

## Closure

[edit]

In January 2020, Tri-State Electrical Co-Op, the owner of the Escalante Generating Station announced the closure of the power plant by the end of 2020.[1] With this announcement, the lone customer of the Escalante-Western Railway evaporated, and the final load of coal left the El Segundo Coal Mine for the Generating Station on April 29, 2020.
