The tail of the Silverton wye has an undeveloped area to the north-east that *COULD* allow the wye capacity to be expanded beyond 15 cars (without even crossing a road), if the D&SRR saw a benefit and could work out a suitable arrangement with property owners and officialdom. Just add a curved addition to the tail track in the large undeveloped area in the center of the map.
This would be similar to the curved expansion of the Chama wye tail track that the C&TSRR performed a few years ago.
Here is a screen shot of Google Maps in the area:
