Thanks again, Charlie!

I was fortunate enough to witness the very last revenue runs over Cumbres on August 28 & 29,
1968 (see [ngdiscussion.net] et seq.), but did not get to chase any of the other trains that year
and am very grateful for all of the photos and information that you, Greg, JBWX and others have
posted. Now we all need to ~~lean on~~ encourage Ernie to finish the 'Chama to Durango' sequel to
the 'Final Years' book that he wrote with Joseph Hereford!

- Russo
