Re: More 1968 "Mad Dash" (and after) Questions ...

Russ - I was out there in 1969 also. I went out there with my dad on a business/vacation trip. We went to both Alamosa and Durango. I have slides with stuff that year. Of course nothing was happening on the freight part, and as we know after 1968 nothing happened. I investigated going to Adams College in Alamosa, or Lewis College in Durango, since I graduated HS in the spring of 69. Ft. Lewis would have been the best bet, since the Silverton line was still active of course, and I was hopeful of the freight coming back. However they did not allow freshman to have a car on campus or some such, so I said forget that, and stayed in Ohio. Next trip was early June 1971 catching some of the first C&TS ops.
