DOLORES, Colo. (AP) Before the Galloping Goose No. 5 rail car carried passengers and mail to and from Dolores in the 1930s and 40s, freight trains and steam locomotives dominated the historic railroad town.
Showcasing the bustling freight train commerce from 1891 to the 1930s on the Rio Grande Southern Railroad is the focus of a new effort by the Galloping Goose Historical Society Museum in Dolores.
The museum has acquired five historic, narrow-gauge freight cars and is restoring them for display. They will be positioned on two tracks behind the museum in Flanders Park.

Clark County Today Editor Ken Vance shares his thoughts on what the past week has been like for a Conservative living in Washington state
If you’re a Conservative living in the state of Washington, I don’t need to tell you that this hasn’t been a good week to read the news. Specifically, if you’re like me in that you like to keep as much of the money you earn as possible, rather than having it taken from you by your elected officials, it’s been a cringe-worthy last several days.
Between Sunday’s end of the 2021 session of the Washington State Legislature and President Joe Biden’s Wednesday address to a joint session of Congress, I’ve had more than enough of Liberal Democrats taking victory laps for their ability to raise our taxes and spend our money both at the state and the federal level.
