RIDGWAY

A gem of southwestern Colorado, Ridgway is a rural town situated in a beautiful mountain valley. It was founded as the headquarters of the world-famous Rio Grande Southern narrow-gauge railroad serving the area's rich silver and gold mines, ranches, and farms.
CIMARRON
A beautiful part of Colorado
When the first trains arrived in Cimarron in the early 1880s, the passengers were greeted by numerous tents and one log cabin. It was realized that getting trains over the steep summit grades would require helper engines.
