According to Don when he aquired the South Fork to Creede portion, it had been 15 years since a train operated over the line to Wasson. That would put it in the late nineteen eighties. We are talking about a diesel operation. According to Mike Davis, Supr./Roadmaster that time frame is about right. Maybe Jimmy Blouch can find records of that last trip. Mike Davis did inspect the line by motorcar long after the last trip by diesel. Balance of the line is laid with 62lb.rail which limits what power operates on it.
