Don't think Cornelius Hauck was a partner in the
Alamosa Motel/museum operation. He did purchase the
318 and was a partner in the later CRRM. The 318 may
have been on display at the Alamosa motel/museum
until the CRRM began in 1958.

As I recall, Mr. Hauck suggested that Bob Richardson
purchase and save the 318, money was tight so it was
purchased by Mr. Hauck to avoid it being scrapped.
