Thanks Jerry, the photo of the Ibex TT was taken in April of its last year. I have wondered with the removal of the D&RGW's Ibex and Graham Park also meant the removal of the roundhs'e and passenger depot in Leadville?
April 24, 1940. This is what they must mean by "retired"
What a beautiful depot. If one visits the Healy House and Dexter Cabin museum in Leadville there is a large framed photograph of the D&RG depot when it was new in the early 1880s and in that rare unplished photograph there is a D&RG class 45 with a Denver bound express. Below is the depot in the 1890s.
