This is an outrage! Abandonment clears the path for shameless development. Whatever is left of the Durango yard could ultimately be observed from an upper level suite, much like standing over a model railroad layout.

Narrow gauge railroad yards in Colorado bring to mind these images for me...
Edge of town
Down by the river
Adjacent to the pasture
Strings of old rolling stock
The smell of creosote
Cinders and grease

How will this be preserved?
