Re: Re-creating the San Juan Express

Boris,
The San Juan Parlor Cars are accounted for. The "Alamosa" is in Durango. The "Durango" is at Knott's along with the chopped up "Chama". We'd HAVE to go to D&S or Knott's to have a chance of pulling this off.
I think the car body Earl (or was it Coker)is referring to, is a baggage car. But there is no proof it is there, just legend
The two Parlor Cars from the Shavano Train were traded or sold to a RR in Mexico in the early 1940's (1942 comes to mind) and are most likely gone. But they weren't for the San Juan anyway.
Playing the Devil's Advocate on the Coaches, The D&S and Knott's both rely on those Vestibule Coaches, why would they get rid of one or two to the C&TS? or Trade for a converted box car in return?
