Jeff, Herb et al -

If the #489 'Season in Green' project* is successful, I'll make a similar pledge to have #20 and #315**
painted as close as possible to their original F&CC livery for a few round trips from Antonito to Osier.
(The east end of the C&TS is similar to the arid country at the south end of the F&CC, and the 1.4%
grade would be easier for these two old-timers to negotiate than the 4% hill from Chama to Cumbres.)

- Russo

* See [ngdiscussion.net].

** What was #315's original number on the F&CC? Does anyone have photos they could post??
