Please don't call me 'Sir' — it reminds me that I am an old geezer!

Another super photo, Tank -
Thank You again for posting – and for identifying several of the participants. Ten years ago, as part of the 40th Anniversary Celebration, Ernie Robart and Terry Ross gave a two-hour slide show of the early history of the C&TS, and – fortunately for all of us fans of the railroad, Steve Forney has created a video of their presentation. See [
ngdiscussion.net] for a link to his show.
