Bob,
I did say I would get an answer back to you if no one else had. Sorry I took so long.
I don't have the exact date but the engine house in Rico was still standing in the beginning of 1953 but was torn down by Sept. of 1955. This was done with orders from the Rico-Argentine Mine management. I believe they took down the depot at the same time. The picture from the R.G.S. Story dated Sept. 1955 shows the depot gone along with the engine house.
Tim
