I remember standing in that location in probably 1961 or 1962 and noticing a derailed boxcar wheel on a westbound bouncing along the ties. It had probably derailed on the facing points at the other end of the siding. I gave the caboose crew a bad order sign and they pulled the air. After telling the crew how many cars ahead the problem was,Gordon and I headed for Durango since it was getting dark.
