The T.T.C.& P. was the Tahoe, Trout Creek & Pacific, a short-lived tourist operation out of South Lake Tahoe, CA. Its owner, the late Bob Keller, was selected as the first operator of the C&TS in 1971, at which point he moved some of his personal equipment -- including the Hawaii Ry. #5 -- to Chama. It was restored by Brook Rother in 1998-99 and is currently on loan by its owner, Dr. Richard May of Southern CA, to the Connecticut Antique Machinery Assoc. in Kent, CT.
