Re: D&S cars sold at auction

The ICC valuation map shows a SN tie to the D&RGW on track #21 and its other end, #29. This switch was in the middle of Cement Street, and the track is still there, now referred to as the Shennandoah spur. There was another connection further up the track at about 13th and Cement streets.
These maps have the SN engine house erased off them with a note reading "is this building here?" As best we can figure out, the SN engine house was accessed off the Cement Street line with a switch and piece of track that went to the engine house where there was another switch to serve the 2 stalls.
The D&RG had operating rights in certain city streets granted in 1881 and the SN would have had the same in the 1890s. These rights still apply to the D&SNG, so we don't see a problem with relaying track in existing city streets to serve the engine house. We may reconfigure the track arrangement to eliminate a switch, but no location work has been done yet.
The first leg of relocated track up 12th Street at the present terminus was authorized by the town in June of 1955. That is the most current date on these maps. The second track came in about 1963. Other than track in the street, there are no railroad facilities in that area.
The D&SNG is the largest private property owner in Silverton, but it also crosses a number of streets and alleys in entering the town and getting to the end of track. There are several underlying town ordinances that give the railroad the right to operate over these public rights-of-way "forever" as it is written in the original ordinances.
