A lot of the more recent discussions of charters (phraudo-freights) on the C&TS tend to start with the Craft charter in 1992, probably because it was one of the first if not the first that tried to replicate how the DRGW operated in the last couple of decades of operation over Cumbres. But my reintroduction to the ng. after DRGW abandonment was largely from riding a couple of the Trowbridge charters. They were not particularly authentic, but they were fun. I wonder if there is any record of what years he ran charters, my recollections are getting vague.
