Re: Remembering Ernie - on the Chihuahua Mineral RR

Since the Colorado Rail Annual No 11 was published in 1973, 46 years ago, I assume it is no longer available. So I am attaching a copy of the map detailing both the 3 foot gauge FCM and the 30-inch electric railroad to Santo Domingo. It should be noted that Ernie referred to the end of the FCM as Aguiles Sedan while the map shows the original name of Santa Eulalia. The name was changed after the Mexican Revolution, but apparently the railroad continued to go with Santa Eulalia.

Ernie never sent me any photos of the electric narrow gauge, so I don't know if he ever took any photos of it. Apparently at that time the electric line only ran twice a week, so that might have been a challenge. I am attaching a photo of the electric engines from the Annual in the next posting
