I agree, Mr. West -
That John B.'s decision to cancel the Great Locomotive Swap was a prudent one.
Given road conditions in the area, I wonder how many of those planning to attend
would have gotten to Antonito or Chama safely and on time. This time, that is ...
Like you, I certainly hope there WILL be winter ops in the future. I have already be-
gun to set funds aside to enable participation in same. If John C. is successful in
his efforts to get bearings for the tank car trucks, we can look forward to seeing El
Curmudgeon del Sur's non-Phraudulent photos of a snow train + tank car Cumbres
Turn re-created in the next two or three years!
Since I couldn't attend this time anyway, the biggest disappointment from my perspective is that I won't be able to "borrow" your best Phraud-O-Graph - or Roger's - for use on my always-late Christmas Cards this year ...
