Dismantling, anyway. I believe Colorado Fuel & Iron shut down the big coal mine at Crested Butte in 1953, and that was the source of most of the traffic. The D&RGW applied for abandonment, and agreed to leave everything intact and pay taxes for a year or two if the counties didn't aggresively contest the abandonment application to the ICC. Scrapping took place in 1955. No. 489 powered the scrap trains east of Gunnison.
