Re: The short lived Central City C&S #71 operation.

In 1987, I was touring railroads from Durango to Cheyenne, & one stop was in Central, where I rode in the cab of #71. Everyone there was so excited about the possibilities for this new tourist attraction. I was using an old camera, & trying the new Kodachrome ASA100 film. Unfortunately, the photos failed, but here is the postcard I bought on that day. At least the "photos" in my mind are still vivid..
