I too, have a lot of good memories from days working and riding in those old coaches. The trains we run today can't quite match the thrill of leaving Antonito with 20 or 25 cars behind you. They required a completely different style of train handling to get them over the road smoothly. Not that I would like to return to them, I am glad we have progressed to where we are now, but the old box car coaches are certainly an important part of the C&TS history.
