Sad indeed. I didn't make it to Durango until 1986, but I've seen the pictures. Wish the tank & tower remained, but at least until the north & now south yard went, there was some reminder of the good old days. Just those couple stock cars parked in the north yard added atmosphere to the scene. Now we stay in Silverton for a couple days before heading to the C&TS.
