Another reason is the fact we have several other restoration projects going on and contract dates are well past due. There is not enought volunteers to keep projest moving along quickly. We also underestimated the time it would take us to do a quality restoration and bit off to much. I also didn't realyze the very poor condition there open freight cars were in, they are really rotted.

In case anyone missed the descriptions and pictures Fritz posted in the Some recent Silverton activity NGDF thread, here is a July 5, 2012 article from The Silverton Standard newspaper about the freight car projects:Silverton Standard - Old rail cars get back on track

For additional information on #315, the freight cars, the Emma Sweeney and the Silverton Northern enginehouse, check out the Durango Railroad Historical Society (DRHS) website.
