There are 4 loads and 5 empty box cars set out at Ridgway this date, but there doesn't appear to have been a west bound train from Gunnison since the 20th December and the traffic for the RGS from that movement has been moved from Montrose prior to the 27th.
Could this traffic have come via transfer from the SG at Montrose?

I don’t know that I have a definitive answer at this point.
In my mind most of the coal would have been from Crested Butte. Though I suppose there is a possibility some came from the North Fork Branch.
The other loads I imagine are Montrose trans loads.
