I picked up some old issues of RR Magazine and ran across a blurb about one of the Geese which apparently lost its brakes and ranaway at Dallas Divide. Everyone on board bailed and had to hoof it into Ridgway where they were amazed to find their runaway Goose waiting for them in front of the depot. The article implies that runaway Geese were not unheard of (pardon the dangling participle)__Aug, 1945 RR
