A bit of history has been saved. When I recently met with Jerry Nery, RTD’s DUS Project Manager, he showed me around RTD’s offices at Union Station including a peek inside the room pictured below. He saved the large, old photos that hung on the walls of the tunnel. For the past year or so, several of those photos were missing. Rumor had it that they were stolen. The truth is, they were vandalized: ripped from the walls but not stolen. Jerry retrieved them and has repaired some of the damage which was limited to the edges.
Speaking of history, I took a photo of a photo hanging in Jerry’s office. It shows the demolition of the 16th Street Viaduct. The old neighborhood certainly has changed.
Cool pic, I know it is best that they are gone, but I kind of miss the viaducts at the same time.
