Re: Ridgway functions after 1952?

While working on archeology projects in the area for a Montrose company I watched a train run on this line in the summer or fall of 1976 while driving down to Ouray. Believed this was the last train to make the run. Between dig projects spent about a week in May or June 1978 working on a crew removing the rails and ties. In 1979 and 1980 worked on the Old Dallas Archeology Project locating and excavating sites in the Ridgeway Reservoir project impact area. In 77 and 78 I was living in a farm house overlooking Dave Wood's old place above the Dallas Road. During this period I would often drive to Ouray on a dirt road that was once the grade between Ridgway and Ouray. Several buildings in Ridgway still had the Fort Smith signage in 1981. The last time I was in this area was for a brief trip in fall 1985. Imagine a lot has changed since then.
