Galloping Goose No. 4 is back in Telluride after undergoing four years of restoration in the capable hands of Ridgway Railroad Museum volunteers. On May 16, a major operation loaded the Goose on a flat bed and transported it to its home at the Telluride Volunteer Fire Department.
The operation required that the tracks where the Goose sat at the museum be lifted in a gradual arc to meet the tracks on the end of the flat bed. Skanska USA, a national construction firm, provided transportation at no cost.
