Re: Railfest in Durango next month

I like the D & S paint scheme, as it is similar to the D&RGW spelled out lettering of the locos/tender. I just like the 473 in the bumble-bee
In most past years there have been visiting locos and/or special paint schemes (bumble-bee, green coaches, green boiler, Eureka, 315, etc.) so I was looking forward to seeing something very special this year. I know they are doing the work train, but for some reason, that does not grab my interest as well as even a photo freight. Oh well, I will ride the D & S any chance I get. UNFORTUNATELY, the C & T released their special photo freight train tickets/info AFTER I purchased airplane tickets. Still looking forward to attending my first Railfest. Just hoped for more.
Happy Rails To You,
Ted
