No there was only one grade of limestone, there were two tracks because there was not enough space for one long storage track. The limestone was loaded from two locations in the tipple. The cars were dropped by gravity down to the storage tracks parallel to the wye. The D&RGW had a lot of trouble with the CF&I as it was CF&I mine workers who dropped the cars by gravity and there were a lot of wrecks and damage by rough handling of the cars. D&RGW had the same kind of problem with the CF&I at Crested Butte.
