Curmudgeonly Minds Think Alike, John!
When I took that first one at Apache almost nobody thought it would be more-or-less replicated 40 years later - our glass is WAY more than half full!
May I presume that once Johnny Coal is done replacing the entire telegraphone line that he and The Friends will rebuild the snow fences - and the snowshed at Cumbres? I realize that the third rail from Antonito to Alamosa might take a little longer . . .
