A busy morning at the turn-table in Durango.
Author: DonWinslow

This was in June of 1965. One engine going down into New Mexico and the other to Silverton.

Actually most what is in this picture still exists:  473 is still in Durango, as is the turntable and the roundhouse got rebuilt after the 1989 fire.  464 is happily running in Michigan. The K-36 on the right is I believe 488 (plow, class lights) had one more year to run under D&RGW ownership, now taking care of business on the C&TS in Chama.

The D&RGW sold off much of the property of the Durango Yard in the late 1960's, so items like the coal tipple and water tank can never be replicated.
