Rotary OY would never be used again by the D&RGW. 16 years would go by before the C&TS would fire it up again. When the C&TS runs the OY next spring, it will be an unbelievable 23 years since its last use.

1962 was interesting year on the narrow gauge. An eleven mile plus relocation near Arboles was built during the summer, going into service at the end of August. In the fall, 16 narrow frame tank cars were sold to the WP&Y, 10 of which found their way back south in the 1990's.
