Dear "Lillians",
Last night as I was reading "Narrow Gauge to Cumbres" I realized that today, October 4th, marks the 36 anniversary of the first EASTBOUND CATS train out of Chama. The day was highlighted by a "hold-up and robbery" and a fine meal provided at Osier with a 2 hour stop.
Ahhhh....the memories some of you must have of that day!
Please share!
