Question: Which comments do you take exception to--and why?
Answer:
The Durango & Silverton cosmetically restored RGS 42 many years ago, it has been displayed inside with signage cleaned regularly.
Speculation was when it was moved out of the museum that it would be restored.
I posted the photo to clarify the situation.
This was posted by two individuals.
1. Too bad they just don't let it go to the Ridgway Railroad Museum
2. I do agree that if the D&SNG doesn't want to make a go of the 42--and clearly she's not so important to their museum that they're not willing to park her outside under a tarp--it would be awesome if it could be available for another group, even if on static display at her home in Ridgway.
The D&S is rebuilding 493 which takes two stalls, they are doing shop work on several engines and have reserved a stall for Southern Pacific 18. It was a stupid statement that the museum did not care about RGS 42 and it typical of the negative attitude toward the D&S that is repeatedly posted here by the same individuals. RGS 42 was placed in a secure location and protected from the elements. So the comment that they do not care is just dead wrong.
Your response to me was very negative. Might interest you to know that I have received a number of private messages that do not agree with you and suggesting that I ignore you.
This is a discussion board, not an image hosting site. Discussion is the purpose of the thing, and that includes folks' wishful thinking. If you want to display your pictures without anyone commenting a site dedicated to that purpose might be a better tool for the job.Discussion is the purpose of the thing, and that includes folks' wishful thinking.
