The second supplement to Episode 7 where I followed the Rio Grande from Grand Junction, to Montrose, to Ridgway and to Ouray; Here I share my visit to the Ridgway Railroad Museum, personally shown around by volunteer Larry. Larry previously volunteered at the Galloping Goose Historical Society in Dolores, and is an experienced Galloping Goose driver having driven over the Durango & Silverton and the Cumbres & Toltec railroads.
SO great for me to see a Galloping Goose for the first time! .... well, actually there were two!
"Motor 1" and "Goose 4" were on display, along with a great collection of Rio Grande Southern and Denver & Rio Grande Western vehicles.
I was lucky, as during the Summer, Goose 4 is usually on display in Telluride and only at the museum over the Winter.
Following from this video will be:
- Ep. 10: Ouray, from the ground and high above
- Ep. 11: Tracing the Rio Grande Southern!!!
Then a whole lot more as I make my way towards Denver.
If you'd like to support me after this very expensive trip and for the future, there is a "Super Thanks" function near the 'Like' button. Not expected, but would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
This is part of my amazing historic railroad-based trip between Salt Lake City and Denver.
