DARK TERRITORY® – LARGE
Dark Territory® provides a controlled-accessed section of the Rail Yard® for those who are on top of their game! Dark Territory is located in lower Rail Yard® and includes the largest and most technical features in our park system. A separate pass is required to access this area. To obtain a pass for the first time, one must watch a short video and sign an additional waiver.
The goal of Dark Territory® is to offer the largest features of our Park to those who are willing to take an extra step to increase their awareness of Terrain Park safety and etiquette.
Dark Territory® is the park to do your filming and photography! Get your segment filmed here and submit it to use to post on the RLYD.COM gallery. CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT YOUR VIDEO.
REMEMBER, everybody that enters this section is required to have their pass with them each time they enter!
The History
A Dark Territory is an area along the rail road system in which the traffic is controlled by verbal or written authority. Trains are not protected by any technical signaling or direct communication system. In these areas, engineers must depend on those that came before them....and stake their lives on everybody’s discipline to keep the area safe.
Dark Territories are free of the traffic that engineers typically experience on high volume routes throughout the nation. These areas are ruled by strict guidelines of conduct, etiquette, and honor. When the rules are not followed, derailments or head-on collisions become harsh realities – lives, equipment, and cargo are at stake.
Winter Park’s Dark Territory® is guided by similar rules of conduct, etiquette and honor. Should you choose to enjoy this area, you are expected to take additional steps to ensure everyone’s safety, as well as your own.
