There's a picture attributed to Dick Kindig in "The South Park - Colorado Rail Annual #12" that shows only the main in 1937--the last passenger train--it's at the bottom of page 225. The siding is gone with perhaps just a trace of tie marks in the dirt. (And that very sturdy privy!). Maybe Mr. Walker has found it at DPL and can post it. There are two autos in the scene, and they look to be late 30's type (anyone care to chime in on the cars and their vintage?). Most of the other pictures I've seen have both tracks in place. At that late date I am surprised they would have bothered to remove the siding when abandonment had been in the works for several years. This is something I've been wondering about for a couple of years now. When I have a bigger basement I plan to model Buffalo as it appeared in 1936, but that's a long way off...
