Check Out the Ridgway Railroad Museum!
During a recent trip to Colorado, we stopped at the Ridgway Railroad Museum in Ridgway, Colorado. Check out the Ridgway Railroad Museum with us!
The Rio Grande Southern Railroad was a narrow-gauge railroad which ran from the towns of Durango to Ridgway, Colorado. It was built by German immigrant and Colorado toll road builder Otto Mears. The RGS operated from 1891 through 1951 and was built with the intent to transport immense amounts of silver mining traffic that was produced by the communities of Rico and Telluride. On both ends of the railroad, there were interchanges with The Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, which would ship the minerals to smelters like the one in Durango.

In 1881, the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad (D&RGW) constructed a narrow gauge railroad over Tennessee Pass, first as a branch line to access mines near Red Cliff, Colorado, but by the mid 1880s the line became part of its extension to the Aspen area constructed in order to beat the Colorado Midland's standard gauge route to that rich mining area. In 1890, a new standard gauge line was bu...

Glenwood Springs, Colorado!

There was fierce competition between the Denver & Rio Grande Railroad (D&RG) and the Colorado Midland Railroad to be the first to serve the community of Glenwood Springs, Colorado.

    MAN !!! At 3:25 to 4:08 in, I couldn't help but notice that the rail here appears to be "spaghetti"-like, (like other Tourist Railroads) and how 493 is "weaving / Rock and Rolling" while going down the road. This would concern me greatly as "she's" probably only doing 25-30 mph, but still...I personally wouldn't ride behind some Class 1's in this Country for that matter. I'm just wondering IF this is a "Construction in progress", (by laying new - straight rail), or is it a Man-Yana, (sp)? kind of thing?

    Ngl, I came up with my own fantasy railroad in the US, being called the PSFS (Pensacola & Santa Fe Southern) without knowing this railroad existed. The PSFS would have a fleet of F7 passenger and freight locomotives, E6 Passenger Locomotives, ES44DC Freight and (Fantasy) Passenger Locomotives, SD70ACe Yard Locomotives, GP38-2 Yard Locomotives, AlCo PA1 Locomotives, and even some (Fantasy) reproduction Baldwin Sharknose Locomotives. The line would have a passenger route from Barstow, CA to Pensacola, FL while sharing freight lines on the same route with transfer yards in San Diego, CA and Mobile, AL. Three major yards would include Barstow, CA, Pearl, MS, and Pensacola, FL. There would be subdivision off the mainline. But I discovered this railroad 8 months after coming up with it.
