About halfway between Frisco and Breck. Depending on your source, dates back to 1860-1880's. It was a railroad switch and coaling station. In 1897 six cars loaded with gold ore broke loose in Breck and jumped the track at Dickey, pretty much demolishing the depot. Usually under the waters of the south end of Dillon reservoir these days. Lots of iron artifacts and broken glass. Found a few marbles here too, but no coins so far. I think they cleaned up every speck of that gold ore, but lots of coal lyin around, so I got my Christmas shoppin done early.
