RGS Goose 4 To Be Restored At Ridgway Railroad Museum

Although it's a non-operative restoration, I'm glad to see the last of the Geese in for her checkup! :tb-biggrin: More details on my blog here.

 

Sweet! I see a road trip in my future. Thanks for sharing the article.

That is awesome!! Where are they restoring it on the grounds?? They don't have a lot of room there for fixin stuff up!

 

No, they don't, but they're going to lay some extra track to spread things out a bit, according to the article. I imagine they'll need some elbow room still.

 

As I was passing through Ridgeway today I saw the Goose sitting out by the building. It looks to be in pretty good shape. Maybe I will have time on my way back to NM to get some shots of her...

 

That would be great, JCater! Hope to see them soon. :thumbs_up::thumbs_up::thumbs_up::thumbs_up:

 

Pics of Goose 4!

Finally was able to upload these:

 

And a few more...

 

Just as I imagined they'd do, split her and start nook-and-cranny survey measurements. :tb-nerd:

Thanks for the pictures, JCater! It's good to see #4 getting attention. :tb-biggrin:

 

I was actually surprised at how good she looks. There are a few rusted out areas that I could see. Couldn't get close enough to look inside. I just hope this is the first step to complete restoration. Imagine how fun it would be to ride the High Line in it, or travel over Lavato Bridge on the Chama...

 

Thanks for sharing the pictures JCater.

I finally made it down to Ridgeway. Here are a few shots.

I, uh...forgot to send you a memo. :tb-ooh: Sorry. :tb-frown:

 

Bravo, Thanks for the updated pictures! :tb-biggrin: Let's hope she's looked after.

 

Thanks! I believe that the Geese were powered by some model of Buick gasoline engines but I am not 100% sure.

You're welcome!
