Maybe the state of Colorado should acquire it and give it to the C&TS for $1.00 and let them operate it. They could run tourist trains now and then and make some money off the freight, and have a connection in Antonito with the C&TS. Doesn't sound like the price will be that high relatively speaking. The friends could rebuild the Alamosa shop and put in the third rail to complete the Alamosa to Chama experience!!!! Seriously I wonder if the freight business would benefit the C&TS as a means for additional funding given the right scenerio, like no cost to them to acquire it!!!! The La Veta Pass excursions were pretty nice for scenery as well. Just a wild idea!
