John:
I know what you mean about the tails that are woven by some of our "Senior" members. I have listened many times to the tails woven by a certain champion of Colorado Railroad Preservation who now lives in central Pennsylvania and wondered if he was pulling my leg. But if he was I enjoyed it!!!.
Most of what is showing up I have read also so I am looking for some things that have not been published. I was hoping that back in 1963 some railroad fanatic had gone to Cumbres with his camera and tape measure and documented every stick standing there. I guess that is too much to hope for but some pictures other than those that have been published would maybe help.
