Well........sort of.
The REAL work of opening the railroad has been done by our track crew and crews working out of Antonito with #19 and they deserve ALL the credit, and our thanks, for the hard work of clearing the railroad of snow. We just waded through the pitiful remains of a couple of drifts west of MP 336 on a break in run to Cresco this afternoon.
Now, if only Mother Nature will stop dumping snow on the mountain.
