The town is Ridgeway, not a large town, but a thriving one. After all, the miners spend their hard earned cash there, seeing as how they are only 7 miles away.  One traffic light, a few stop signs, a fair amount of traffic.  Several festivals each year bring in tourist trade, and the miners really enjoy the autumn Beer Festival!!

The Rusty Knuckle Cafe is only one of several places in town to eat, but it is the only one right alongside the Ridgeway-Keeler mainline. This fact alone, makes it the favorite of railroad enthusiasts, and that good home cooking sure seals the deal.  Almost any day, you can find a group of railfans over in the corner booth talking "trains".  Model rails, active railroad workers, and, occasionally a retired railroadman or two.
