RR Structures between Farmington and Durango
| February 07, 2008 09:19AM |
I will be heading to Durango this weekend for the Winter Photographer's Special and I'll be going thru Farmington and Aztec, are there any RR structures still standing? I can see a few steel bridges that appear to be RR bridges, but what about water tanks?
The attached aerial image is from Google Earth and the location is about 10 miles north of Aztec along 550. I assume the steel truss was a D&RGW bridge. Is the cylinder near the top of the picture an old RR water tank?
Thanks,
Dennis
