My first encounter with the C&TS was in 1977, and I distinctly recall (at the age in only slightly double digits) an early morning 'bus' ride from Antonito to Chama in something bus-like. Evidently that was dropped shortly after?
I do have the attached proof of a photo runby they did for the passengers at Big Horn. Best I could do for a scan of an old 126 instamatic negative.
