Hello, All -
I have just received an e-mail from Steve Cossey in Durango, whom I met last month when he visited my good friend and former next-door neighbor. IIRC, it was Steve who escorted some of the D&S folks when they visited South America a few months ago to evaluate some diseasels for possible purchase by the railroad. Steve is currently helping to arrange a rail and cultural tour to Colombia in September, 2019, for which he will be a co-leader. The tour is being organized by PTG tours in the UK; trip details can be found at [
www.ptg.co.uk]
NOTE: The deposit for the trip is 100 pounds equivalent, and not the 750 pounds shown in the website text.
Steve hopes to get 15-20 people signed up so the trip can be run.
"
PTG ran a similar trip in 2017 and it was the first time a railtour had been run in Colombia for about 30 years. We are excited to have it on the program again for 2019."
Steve is also writing a book with Bob Whetham entitled
"Colombia Railways: Past and Present", and will notify us when it is available online. It will include about 100 of Bob's unpublished black & white photos from the early 1960s in Colombia and some of his own more recent pictures.
