The cook house and station were indeed demolished this past summer. You would have had to look outside the sheds to see them. The station on the north and cook house on the south. If you were riding through on Atk you never would have seen them. You are correct in your present day configuration. They have kept the fuel tank and pumps there and have added a lot of secure fencing around the pumps and pump house. It is just used in emergencies as flangers and spreaders are fueled by truck in Truckee.
