This picture of C&S 641 was taken at Leadville in December 1961. I am curious if the large building on the right hand side of the picture is of railroad signficance. In checking some maps and satellite views of Leadville the building appears to be where the DRGW yard may have been, or at least the C&S interchange with the DRGW. Recent views suggest all that is left of the building is a foundation. The building has a "railroady" look to it, but perhaps it was just an industrial or mining operation of some type. Just curious.
