That makes total sense. I guess I was thinking too hard, assuming twin opposing 3208 or similar. Petrol tertiary drives were common back in the day, but I’ve not been in motor rooms in a couple decades. Diesel is much more efficient and most joints have much thousands of gallons on hand at all times, too, also. Carry on!
Correction: The lake seen near the base is Saddleback Lake. The caption is wrong (13 down). The much larger Rangeley Lake is to the west, out of view. Otherwise, thanks Peter for getting these pictures up.
I’ve noticed that at the very end of the terminal there are two sets of lights (red, orange, green, with default being orange I think). I haven’t seen these on other lifts of this model, what are they for?
Two diesels? What is this, Whatcom County?

Most ordered like that now. 1 high HP Diesel prime mover and one smaller APU.

Are these sheave designs going to be used on all new Doppelmayr lifts? I personally think the old ones were better.
