No way to turn 'em! Ridgway & Ouray turntables were 50' and there was no access to the wye at Ridgway after D&RGW standard gauged the yard trackage!

As for #"s 20 & 74, the deals that took them away were made *before* the RGS quit running so they weren't available. And 42 had/has many problems...

But that's OK, just pick up 318 along with the Ouray trackage in '53.
