Now that the movie prop water tank is pretty well collapsed, isn't it time to remove the remains and tidy up the property? I know that this was handy for movie people, but since the C&TS has plenty of functional water tanks, as well as depots, it seems reasonable to get rid of the disintegrating remnants of the movie sets, which are not really accurate representations of anything used on the D&RGW. If Hollywood needs to photograph trains with a depot or a water tank, there are plenty of places to do it with real, functional structures.
