Re: Keep 483 off the pedestal - Use a 490 instead

There's a nice Swedish train set in Dillsboro, NC that would make a great display in downtown Chama. Best part is, the management of the C&TS owns it already.

They robbed the Great Smokey Mountain RR to pay for it and the maintenance of the Colorado NG lines which they manage. I say what's good for the goose is good for the ganger - put the Swedish meatball on display in Chama and re-invest in the history of the GSMRR.

Yes, I'm being inflamatory and no, I'm not serious. But I think it's only fair, and perhaps if more people gave the eastern roads the same level of respect that the western roads get we'd all be better off.
