Greg:
I didn't know this forum was only about Cumbres Pass. There seems to be a lof stuff that is not even D&RGW. What I was trying to convey to the post was that a Cumbres turn was a process that was not limited to Cumbres Pass and was common all over the narrow gauge.
I do not need an apology from you or anyone, but I do not need anyone telling me what I can say or write. Last time I looked it was still a free country. There are others with vast amounts of information who could be making a contribution to this forum but have stopped doing so because of remarks and comments like this. I stopped two years ago because I became tired and bored with the flaming and nasty remarks. I have better things to do with my time. I hoped that with the passage of time that common courtsey might have returned, guess not!
To those who wrote to me privately, I thank you for your words. I just do not need this kind of nonsense in my life.
