That's the apron at DFD St. 36...hint, hint. 8's was going to get the truck that went to 19's but the guys were able to talk fleet into assigning it somewhere else. The new rigs are governed to something crazy like 65 mph which really screws that 3rd due truck if their best access is interstates. Fleet also indicated I was a truck and not a tower. Tr's 27, 9, and 22 are all older than the trucks the job is now replacing, go figure?

Brian do you know any more about being housed in Sheridan / who responded with it?

 

Great stuff, Eric... Really interesting to see the old Castlewood photos. Yes, it is very difficult to picture that intersection looking so...rural. I just checked it out on Google streetview and it looks nothing like that photo. Thanks for posting them. John

I was thinking the same thing!  Here's another good one for you to google streetview... The original Castlewood Station 34 at 8871 Maximus Drive, photo taken looking east / northeast.  The station once stood where the east parking lot of South Metro 34 is located now.  If you look at the birds eye view of the area there was nothing west of I-25 and C-470 didn't exist yet, the neighborhood to the west was being built at the time.
