I see on the new 2015 calendar from The Friends that there will be a full moon on Saturday, August 29, - and since Yvonne just confirmed that next year's D&S Railfest is planned for August 20th through the 23rd - then Wednesday & Thursday, August 26 & 27 (or 27 & 28) would be a great time for couple of special freights on the C&TS

Sounds great, but it would be even better if the CRRM and the Loop were included. However, the CRRM only operates on weekends, so I think the only way that could possibly work would be for August 15 & 16, 2015 to be an operating weekend at the CRRM. August 17 and/or 18th could be some sort of special event at the Loop. That would allow the 19th to be a travel day, then the 20th thru 23rd being Railfest.

Another possible activity would be to have a group ride from Denver to Grand Junction on the Zephyr, then have a chartered bus haul them from Grand Junction to Durango (or Silverton).
