    Were these drive terminals meant to look like the Stealth detach terminals? I kind of see the resemblance.

      Maybe. Its the Galaxy II, which was the modified version of the Galaxy, which I believe was a Garaventa CTEC motor room. It does look a lot like the Stealth 2, and at Snowbird, Mid-Gad has a Galaxy next to Gadzoom (Stealth 2). Maybe they chose the Galaxy to match the Stealth?

        What does a Galaxy I look like? I’ve seen a decent amount of Galaxy II’s on liftblog, but never a Galaxy I

    This lift’s drive terminal is very similar to the Green Machine quad at Hoodoo in Oregon.
