The C&TS ran a Christmas special to Lava from Antonito last December, which turned around at the loop. IIRC Ronnie Herrera was the engineer.
The Rio Grande used the loop on April 23, 1968 on a breakin run of enginers 476 and 478. I don't know if it used it after that.
The Lava tank has been out of srvice since the 1970s.
