Bear in mind the Ridgway TT pit was Timber capped and appears to be native dirt under the caps, in which I'd say would not have been too hard to erase. Removing the timbers and filling in such would not leave much of a trace except maybe a depression.

My old Loco Depot had the TT pit filled in after a Balloon loop was constructed mid-60's, the pit had a concrete ringwall and was filled with gravel, the ring being partially visible in later years.
