Whom do you mean by "him", Roger -
Yourself? I can't think of any reason they wouldn't let you into Durango. And you can't mean Jeff — he not only runs the D&S Museum, he's also in charge of the railroad's paint shop. So I guess you must mean Roosso. But he doesn't need to go there in person to pay for #493's green jacket — he can just send Jeff a money order or a cashier's cheque. And if you're there to take photos & videos, it doesn't matter to Roosso if they let him into town or not.
