Hi Les, Just so everyone knows, we closed on the Creede Branch line purchase late yesterday afternoon, (5/24), here in Durango. We will not be converting the line to narrow gage. Initial operation will remain s.g. Eventually, time and $ permitting, we will add the third rail for dual-gage operation. We feel it will be an additional draw and we will be able to offer an experience from several railroad eras. Thanks for kind words of support. We hope to make this rebirth of the Denver & Rio Grande Railway a memorable event. More soon, Don
