Re: It helps to be crazy

Mr. Norwood was later video taped in the mid-1980's saying words to the effect that "if there had been as much interest in the narrow gauge back in 1950's as there is today, there would still be a passenger train running between Alamosa and Durango".....

Take that for what it's worth. Norwood would always be a Company man. Admitting the C&TS might be a success would be like saying this employer could have made money at it, but just didn't want to.....

Admittedly, what was accomplished in 1970 was unprecedented in the history of US railroad preservation. There were man doubters that it could be pulled off - almost didn't more than a few times.
