In October 1972 Scenic Railways ran the very first C&TS photo freight from Chama to Big Horn and return. Russo and I road it, have no idea how many others who road it are still around. Russo and I have discussed the idea of a commemorative run next year...not necessarily a recreation but just a fun time out for a few pictures and perhaps some stories from the old timers. Wondering who here might be interested in joining us in organizing such a venture. Attached is a picture of our runby at Cascade.
