AMEN!
IMHO, the D&S Museum in Durango also does a very commendable job of honoring the railroad's heritage. OTOH, the C&TS inherited a time-capsule of the D&RGW freight operations in the mid-sixties, and it would need to have a LOT of older equipment donated and a LOT of backdating done to what it already owns in order to reflect anything earlier than about 1940.
I for one am very grateful for all three of these living museums
... and for the ongoing resuscitation of The Loop as well.
