Durango Industries
| October 22, 2010 09:54AM |
Here is a copy of a list of industries located along the tracks in Durango, Probably incomplete, There was a lot going on in the North section of the Durango yard as this Charles Small photo from 1940 will show. . Unfortunatly I didn't spend as much time there as I later wished, much more exciting down by the roundhouse.
Please excuse Typos.
The truck route was put in in 1951 between 6th street and 14th street and then re built several times after that. Kind of an early urban renewal.
