Re: Corkscrew Gulch Turntable

Great historic photos! Portions of the turntable are still there, but unfortunately, nowhere near as much as shown in the photos. Each year the Ridgway Railroad museum and Ouray County Historical Society lead several guided hikes to the turntable, and on Ouray County Railroad Days weekend in September, we lead a two-day hike along the entire route of the SRR from the top of Red Mountain Pass all the way to Albany. Monitor the Ridgway Railroad Museum and Ouray County Historical Society websites for future dates. Our guide is Don Paulson, a RRM board member and curator of the Ouray historical museum, and an expert on the SRR.
