The Guston Depot rebuild has been completed. On Friday September 26th the volunteers from the Ridgway Railroad Museum and the Ouray County Historical Society completed the rebuilding of the Silverton Railroad's Guston Depot. The photos below show the completed depot and the group responsible for its rebuilding (l to r: Dudley Case, Rob Bunyard, Karl Schaeffer, Chris Weiser, Hale Houts, Bob Meyer, Tom Hillhouse, and Don Paulson. Not pictured Stuart Harrah and Reid Henry). In all three photos you can see the two pieces of original Silverton Railroad 30 pound rail which we will install next spring when the snow melts. In earlier posts you can see what the depot looked like in the 50s 60s and 70s.
