It has been a while since I have jumped in on something but I would like to add my two cents worth here. If a storage building is going to be built, how about something down where the Sawmill used to be. The last time I was in Chama there seemed to be a lot of open ground down there. The friends could do a Pole Barn type thing for a lot less money than a complete building. Sure you will still get some snow and rain on stuff, but not as much as you would while it is sitting out in the open.
If a car repair shed is going to be built, I would suggest building a copy of the one in Durango. Even if there was never a car barn in Chama, I would not have a problem if one was built following D&RGW standards. You could even put that down where the sheep dip plant used to be. There is nothing down there now except a spur and it would be out of the way and not seen from the station.
Just a few thoughts.
