Joe,
A ride on the 5 in the winter is an awesome experience. I rode in 2018 and 2017 and it was like a time warp. This year I rode the SP18 photo special in the caboose as I thought might be only chance to do it in the winter. I have ridden the 5 at the Colorado RR Museum, on the C&TS, and here in Durango a number of times. Will make a contribution to help.
The D&S guys all love the 5 and love to ride and work with your team. This snowfall was the most in 20 years for the area and they didn't want to cancel but had to be safe as you know.
