Hi, Don -
With the 60th Anniversary of #489's "green" trip this May, and the C&TS 40th Birthday in August,
I'm probably going to miss your Centennary celebration. But if JBWX organizes a trip for next year,
maybe I'll come along. There are a LOT of railroads I'd like to see in the British Isles and in Europe!
- Russo
p.s. What gauge is the 'Baby Krok'*? If it's 36", maybe when the SL&RG re-lays the third rail from Alamosa to Antonito, they can add a catenary to keep the line "politically correct", and Krok can come for a visit!
* With a name like that, I assume she's green ...
