are happy to recognize and revere our Inverted Brothers in the Antipœdes.

Well, Wayne -
All I can say at this point is that late August / early September 2020 will be an especially important anniversary for the C&TS – FIFTY YEARS since the D&RGW delivered the equipment purchased by Colorado & New Mexico to Antonito, and fifty years since the volunteers rebuilt the railroad sufficiently to allow the first C&TS train to arrive in Chama!! "BE THERE or BE SQUARE" as we Old FUCGers used to say . . .
