As a youngster I read a boy's book about railroading on the RGS.

One thing I remember from the book was that the reefers on the RGS could be a death trap. The charcoal burners generate carbon monoxide which could kill anyone who decided to stay warm by riding in a reefer.

Don't know how true this was. It was told in a boy's book.

I wish I could find that book. It gave a good picture of the operations on the RGS, especially the Ridgway division.
