Re: Here is the written report

Many thanks for doing the write up Sam! I just enjoyed a quick read through it and below are some the things that are interesting (in a good way) to me:

1. The trains moving west will stop at Cumbres, where the rider can ride motor coach to Chama or Antonito, thus making for a bit of a shorter trip day.
2. The 488 should be available for opening day, or shortly there after.
3. It is hoped that in five years all four of the historic cars will be complete and ready to operate (with locomotive 168 to pull it).
4. The Friends are running a photo charter the first weekend of June (3 & 4). 1 ticket left for Saturday, 20 for Sunday. The tender of the 315 will be decorated with the flying Rio Grande logo.
5. The entire section on 168's current condition and plan moving forward (sounds promising!).

Again, these are not the most important pieces of information in the report but are interesting little pieces I ran across.
