Uh oh, looks like I missed this thread... Was busy screwing around with 7 1/2 inch gauge trains again. 
I had the spur itself documented on my Silverton Railroads Google Map since I got my hands on the D&RG 1919 ICC Valuation Maps, but only recently after bringing it up in the mini Highline thread did I find out it serviced a limestone quarry, and that it lasted until 1939 meaning some changes needed to be made.

I suppose if the D&S ever needed another spur somewhere they could reinstall this one, it would be neat to see.
