Guys: I have been watching A Forties Memory DVD from WB on the section where it shows the Silverton Mixed train from Durango to Silverton. If you have the video watch the Silverton mixed footage. I noticed the footage shows things like Rockwood, Tacoma high bridge and then later on a wye and then footage where the river is on the right side of the tracks and then up to Silverton. My question is where was the wye in the footage located? It has to be Elk Park but it looks to be on the video footage like it is located in the section between Tefft bridge and the bridge below Elk Park because the river is located to the right of the tracks while the train is going north bound. Where would this wye be located? THe footage doesnt make sense on the video: Here is what I have found as for what is located where on the Silverton Branch as found on the internet:
