The Telluride Branch of the RGS left the mainline at Vance Junction. The facilities at this location included two 1000 foot long passing sidings, and a spur with a coal trestle and coal chutes for refueling engines. Although a coaling station was located here, Vance Junction never had a water tank, possibly due to it's location approximately 60 feet above the South Fork of the San Miguel River. The structures at Vance Junction included a section house which contained living quarters for the agent on the second floor, an old Jackson & Sharp coach body salvaged from a wreck, (RGS coach No. 254 - formerly D&RG coach No. 263) used as a depot and telegraph office, a section car shed, and two car bodies used by the section gangs. One of these was an old RPO baggage car body (originally D&RG No. 55 and then later RGS No. 150) and the other was a standard gauge boxcar (D&RG No.13680). The depot closed in the 1920's, but the coach body remained until after the end of operations.

Doctor Eli Vance is a brilliant physicist and researcher, who is an African-American man apparently in his late fifties or early sixties with short grey hair, a beard and moustache. He wears a prosthetic to replace his left leg beneath the knee, which was lost when he was attacked by a bullsquid while helping Dr. Isaac Kleiner climb over a wall into a Combine city.[1] He is presumably a graduate of Harvard University; his shirt has "Harvard" partially obscured on it but clearly shows the university's shield.

Besides the breathtaking thrill of seeing 200 mph nitro burning Harleys, Bike Week enthusiasts ... got to take in the sight of some breathtaking new exhaust system designs at the Vance & Hines Show Truck. New for 2007, Vance & Hines introduces Softail Duals for all ‘07 Harley-Davidson Softail models as well as earlier models going back to ’86. As its name implies, Softail Duals is a true dual system with full-length heat shields creating a classic look that especially suits the nostalgic styling of the Deluxe and Heritage Softails.
