I got it too — for whatever THAT's worth.
BTW, your term 'Necrophoamin' for exploration of long-dead railroads is excellent – right up there with Earl's term 'Phraud-O-Graph' for recent photos that attempt to re-create a bye-gone era. (I say "attempt" because there's almost always at least one or two tiny details that give them away.)

p.s. I've heard a rumor that when you're in Chama you stay at Hogan's Hogan, aka Wigwam's Wigwam — once known as The Shamrock Hotel and soon to be re-christened as the Jokin' Oaks Inn.
