1964 was the last year Cumbres was opened year around, when they quite shipping oil during the 64-65 season the railroad allowed the pass to close during the winter.
The refinery closed in the 64-65 era, as I recall they had a large fire that doomed the plant, later photos show fire marks on the tank sides.
