Can anyone date the removal of the platform sheds at Luray depot?   

Thanks,

Good morning, Gary:

I don't know a date but suspect all of the Shenandoah Division platform sheds were dismantled at the same time after passenger service was discontinued.  I imagine one wrecking crew worked its way along the valley taking them all down one after another.  The information may be in a general order or authority-for-expenditure file at the Archives, if the documentation survived.  Of course, if you locate information that's relevant to Boyce, I'd like to see it.

Best wishes,
