Looks great, Keith! At Dickey, they still had the old South Park open platforms all the way to the end. I think they hoarded coal in them in case of strikes. I plan to have at least part of one of them at Dickey near the ramp to the Coal Dock.

At Durango, there was a small Coal shed across from the depot which held Coal for the station and was also used to supply Coal in buckets for coaches and the adjacent yardmaster's office. These were just South of the old Ice House. Maybe the small shed at Leadville served a similar purpose.
