San
Juan Regional Medical Center
The “San Juan
Regional Medical Center” is located in Farmington, New Mexico. For
the past two years the Galloping Goose Historical Society has received a
sponsorship donation from that organization in the amount of $6.000.00
to help offset costs for operating at True West Railfest on the Durango
& Silverton Railroad in August. These donations have proven to be a real
blessing for the GGHS in our ability to successfully operate at that
event!
San Juan Regional Medical Center is truly committed
to serving the community! Please visit their website -

Skanska -
First we recognize
“Skanska USA Civil West’s Rocky
Mountain District” located in Cortez, Colorado. This division of
Skanska International is a large construction company specializing in
highway construction projects throughout the southwestern United States.
Beginning in 1998, after the restoration of
Galloping Goose No. 5, there was a need to haul it from Dolores,
Colorado to where it could operate on the Durango & Silverton Narrow
Gauge Railroad and the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad, and even twice
to the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden.
For the first few years transportation was provided
by Neilson Construction Company in Dolores. Several years ago, Neilson
was bought out by Skanska and they continued this valuable “community
outreach” project. The specialized transportation is provided free of
charge to the Galloping Goose Historical Society. Without this support
Galloping Goose No. 5 would either not operate at all away from Dolores
or on a very limited basis. Skanska provides the expert drivers and
specialized trucks and equipment worth thousands of dollars per trip.
In addition to transporting the Goose, Skanska has,
from time-to-time, provided shop facilities and expert mechanical
assistance.
To Skanska and its employees we say, Thank
You!!
