I too have chased and ridden various excursions. I understand and accept that as chasers, we really should contribute somehow to support an event. Last year, Jerry Day and I chased the train and both of us happily made a contribution to the 168 fund, as suggested by Tim Tennant and John Bush. I have been told that one reason the Friends and the C&TS no longer issue Chaser passes is that they are worried about liability issues— Very understandable. Instead of a railroad- sanctioned “chaser pass”, potential chasers should be encouraged to make a donation to the Friends or the 168 project— that’s only fair...
