Then and Now

We enjoy following the old railroad rights of way and figuring out where the tracks and structures would have been located in years past.

We are currently researching where the RR lines were located in Ouray, Colorado. Ouray was the end of the branch line and required the engines be turned for the return trip.

We acquired copies of the Sanborn insurance maps showing where the railroad was located and have been comparing historic photos's to today's features.  The pictures below give an indication of where the turntable was located.

We continue to compare 'then and now'.
