Ouray-Ironton Electric Railway
Scanned directly from the Silverton Railroad file print of the original blue print copy--it's way too big for my scanner. This being the Preliminary Location of an electric railroad never built. This map also includes a Condensed Profile that shows the maximum grade at 7 ft in 100 ft and elevations are D&RG standard. What was called Red Mountain Park on this map is now called Ironton Park and the line is straight through the iron fens following the general route of today's US 550. R. L. Kelly is shown as Engineer, and G. E. Howard as Assistant. The map is in remarkable condition and this may be its first trip out of the vault in 40 years. Reproductions of this map exist, but the original is remarkably sharp and crisp, the colors still vivid. The map has a pencil notation that it was made in 1892, a year before the 1893 silver panic.
