Joe & Jeanne Becker
| The S&SRR is in its sixth year of operation. Our garden railroad
is modeled after the Rio Grande Southern that ran in southwestern Colorado from 1890 through 1950. Four hundred feet of
track cross four trestles and two pony truss bridges. The track runs along the periphery of the yard, forming a "U" with
two return loops, one of which is in the shape of a figure 8. Visitors will see scratch-built models of the Dolores and Ophir train depots, an aerial mining tram along with a variety of rolling stock associated with that period of railroad history. |
