I was lucky enough to hike the grade last year. We parked near the restored depot at Guston and walked down to Ironton via Corkscrew Gulch turntable. Great to see some sleepers still in place after all these years and the Guston depot is a neat reminder of the area’s history. Also the mines around Guston including the Yankee Girl are well worth a visit for rail/mining enthusiasts like me.
