John. Very well expressed!
We can best honor the men and women, who saved the part of the D&RGW that became the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Rail Road, by continuing to support the railroad through volunteer work with the Friends of the C&TS as well as riding the trains and “spreading the word”. Without the Friends the historic assets which help create an accurate journey to the past will turn to dust or rust and without income from riders the railroad will become silent. Those original people who gave their best efforts 50 years ago to preserve this operation require our best efforts today and in the coming years as we continue their fight.
