[RITSlist] Track Usage Question in Roswell

[D & E Hutchins]

It is my understanding that there was also a depot there until about 
1925 or 1926.  The south leg of the wye was used for inbound and 
outbound RI trains to and from the station, or southbound trains going 
to Pueblo.  The northbound leg of the wye was for interchange with the 
D&RGW or for trains going north to Denver.  The tracks within the wye 
were part of the yards where switching and train makeup was handled.  
Have you seen the track diagrams in the book from Colorado RR Museum 
Annual #17 by Mel MAcFarland?  Some explanation of trackage there too. 
there too.  You may also inquire of Steve Pelles of the Roundhouse 
Museum in Roswell   lroswellsteve at yahoo.com
