Re: C&TS 1990s Part 3

I was thinking of posting that one myself, Earl -

But you beat me to it, and I'm honored that you would choose it to post.  About five minutes later the light drizzle that makes the photo a bit fuzzy turned to mushy snow, and by the time we got to Cumbres conditions in the semi-open, unheated boxcars were pretty miserable.  Here's a photo taken two frames earlier that shows the Whole Enchilada with the rider gon behind the caboose and eight (8, count 'em, 8) well-occupied boxcar "coaches":


. . . and a trio from two days later with MUCH nicer weather and a bit of Fall Color:


- El Abuelo Histœrico, Greengo y Curmudgeoño de los Locomoturas Viejos y Verdes,
aka Der Grossväterlich DünkelOlivGrünDampfKesselMantelLiebHabender

p.s.  The B&W was taken 09/19/96, ± a day or two, on a trip I took with Brad LaRose of the San Luis Obispo RR Museum and his son Jarrett.  I wasn't there in 1994 . . .
