1974

This was the first year I rode the C&TS . And, it was with those wonderful cut out box cars with plastic chairs and some flat spots on one of our wheels which after a while according to my head, had to be growing larger. But hell, it was a lot of fun and we got a double header with 487 and I guess the 483. I know we had a lot of cars that day. It was the first steam I had seen in many years.
