Cumbres & Toltec in the News

The weekend is here & at last I can get caught up on reading e-mail & snail mail. The C&TS Dispatch arrived today & has the ultimate centerfold for us NG foamers, a color map of the CATS route. Inside is lots of news about progress & activities at CATS. Also Friends of the Cumbres & Toltec have a limited-time offer to buy Sam Furukawa's newest book on the Durango & Silverton. It's a companion to his excellent book on the Cumbres & Toltec. By ordering it now through the Friends you & not only support their programs but also enjoy pre-publication savings.
Finally, in the May issue of Trains, editor Jim Wrinn writes about Soni Honegger the General Manager of the Cumbres & Toltec. Our railroad had a great 2008 & seems to be in good shape to make the best of 2009. Hats off to Soni, the Friends, and all the employees of the CATS.
