Changes in Durango
Author: Auburn_Ed

I just drove past here the other day, I should have tried for a present-day photo from the same spot.  It's all commercial builldings and freeway now.  And the tracks are long gone.

Memorial Day, Illini Railroad Club from Chicago.  I think that this scene is just north of Carbon Junction (is that where the Farmington Branch split from the main)?

Carbon Junction was located right where the old highway into Duran go (seen in the above shot) meets the present road.  This shot is taken a ways north of Carbon Jct..  This spot should still be identifyable.  The trees may have grown to the point of blocking much of the view, but the location is still intact.

I'll take a guess. I think it's only about a mile north of Carbon Jct. There's a curve in the river right behind the mall that you can see from CO 3, which is in the background. So my guess is there. I don't think it's any closer than that, because the town seems to be quite far in the background.
