I forgot about the 1970 flood that Tomstp referred to. It wasn't all that terrible financially for the D&RGW but gave them a dramatic backdrop to hype the sale of the branch. Total flood rebuild costs were below $200,000 in 1970-71 dollars. I do have their entire cost breakdown for that event as well as income and expenses for the Rio Grande Land properties. It would take them 11 more years to complete the sale of the branch to Bradshaw, and they never filed for abandonment of the Silverton branch during that time.
