RGS at Ridgeway?
Posted by NP2626 on Tuesday, November 4, 2014 6:32 PM

Does anyone have track plans, layout of the Rio Grande Southern terminal at Ridgeway Colorado.  May skip Telluride and use Ridgeway on my Sn3 design for the RGS.

Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Not a trackplan, but plenty of other relevant info to supplement one:

In Richard Dorman's The RGS: An Ultimate Pictorial Study, page 17-18, there is a 1909 Engineering Dept map that is reproduced with curves, mileposts, and track lengths appended.

In addition to the walking tour info Geared Steam posted, the Ridgway Museum offers other materials that may be of use:
