The history of the Rio Grande Southern railroad is full of stories that can provide interesting perspectives on how we travel and transport goods in our modern world. KSJD's Tom Yoder talks with Lew Matis of the Galloping Goose Historical Society about how this southwestern Colorado railroad was operated during the winter months, when blizzards and snow slides presented challenges to railroad transportation in the early 1900s.
