There was a coal chute at Monero. Was that used for just the engines, or to load gons too? How long did the railroad use Monero as a stop to reload tenders, and how long did they ship coal from there for the railroads use? Any date on last train to use the facility. We are showing fantrips in the 60's but they never stopped, presumably cause they had plenty to make it from Chama to Durango. But I suspect some freights might use it. Any thoughts on this. I always thought this was a cool place out in the middle of nowhere.
