A lot has changed in Helper over the years, much of it revolving around the decline in rail traffic since the height of the Denver & Rio Grande Western days. Falling demand for coal and shifting traffic patterns after the UP takeover have reduced rail volumes considerably, UP's LROHP (Roper to Helper local) that day a microcosm of today's reality, hauling only a single hopper for the trip east. One could say a sad state of affairs; although we'd all love to see Rio Grande's 2020 leading passenger trains again in place of armor yellow, that won't be happening anytime soon. Any town that suffers a structural decline in economic activity has to try to reinvent itself, this mural attempting to depict the "new" Helper hoping to bring in some tourism dollars, while acknowledging its roots, for better or for worse.
For those that need glasses like me, the mural reads:

Texada is said to be the oldest brick house in Natchez. Texas was at one time a tavern. It was acquired at auction in 1798 by Don Manuel Texada. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Texada was beautifully restored by Dr. and Mrs. Moss over a period many years. This fine Federal style door is from Burling Hall-another Natchez home that was torn down. It replaces a simpler door.

This historic bridge over the Nith built for Devorgilla, mother of John Baliol, one of the oldest in Scotland, originally dated from the mid 15th century, a date of ca. 1431 has been mooted. Its width between parapets is 14 ft. The bridge originally had nine masonry arches of irregular spans and rises.
In 1619 the five arches on the west side were carried away in a flood, but rebuilt within a year; a tremendous undertaking at a time when it was more usual to build one span each year and reuse the centring.
In 1725 Gilbert Smith rebuilt the parapets. In 1828 the three arches at the eastern end of the bridge were removed. It is now used as a public footbridge. Very little of the bridge now dates from before 1620.
Has your city got one of those? Everyone now seems to be running them as a 'unique' tourist attraction (but also useful local transport)...
