Now the Rio Grande Southern

From the 1941 RGS engineers' list and census records obtained through Archives.com.
1. J. (John) A. McDonald, born circa 1882, 11-19-1897f, 6-8-1902e, 1930 residence, Ridgway. Note: it appears that the birth date is either wrong or engineer McDonald started in the engine service not older than 16.
2. B. (Bert) W. Nash, born circa 1877, 11-25-1899f, 6-10-1905e, 1940 residence, Durango.
3. A. (Albert) J. Gibbs (Jr.) born circa 1880 11-30-1900f, 7-9-1907e, 1940 residence, Durango.
4. C. (Carl) E. Quist, born circa 1883, 9-25-1903f, 1-25-1909e, 1940 residence, Ridgway.
5. L (Leo) Croonenberghs, born circa 1883, 1-2-1903f, 4-24-1909e, 1940 residence: Durango. Note: census lists him as a fireman even though he had 31 years seniority as an engineer. May have been to due to lack of business.

7. W. (Winfred) G. Laube, born circa 1885, 5-29-1906f, 2-27-1910e. 1930 residence, Ridgway.

I tried to use the 1940 census but there were times where I needed to go to a different year.
