I shot a lot of video on the Cumbres & Toltec, after the National Narrow Gauge Convention, in Denver. I put together a (what I was wishing) short (14:15) minute video of the special trips put together by the Friends of the Cumbres & Toltec Railroad. I will first say, one hell of a production by the Friends. I shot hours of video, and I hope what I produced is not too long.
My You Tube Video of the special weekend
I would like to add, this trip was more than just a photo train. As I understand it, some of the money goes to the Friends. Also, I understand that some of the money goes to the rehab of Rio Grande engine 168 (at the C&TS, Antonito). I would like to provide a link to a document I received while working at the C&TS booth at the National Narrow Gauge Convention:
168 Matching Fund notice
I feel like I "poached" the Friends train, thus I sent off some $$ for the 168. What a fun weekend at the convention, then later, on the railroad. For you all that couldn't make the trip, I hope my video can help you see what you missed. What a special week.
Thank you all of the NGDF that stopped by to say HI to Me, Roger, and Steve.
