Fred Goff General Robert, this is really interesting that you know about his family. I wonder when he retired & was Ruby his last station? I also wonder what happened to the depot. Was it torn down or did it burn? 8/12/2010 9:56:58 PM
Fred Goff General Also, in 1915 the population of Ruby was 10. Between Ruby & Money there was a little community named Emerald and there was a logging road, I believe that junctioned with Y&MV at Emerald. I also believe that the agent at Ruby handled the billing for the freight. 8/12/2010 10:43:36 PM
marie oswalt General Interesting to know that Ruby had a two story depot. And even more interesting to know that the population was ten. 8/26/2010 10:12:07 PM
