1958 Excursion Announcement

I managed to find the original announcement in my not so well organized file of this stuff. It has always stood out as one of those trips I only can dream to have taken, but I was a poor college student and only beginning to be a railfan. What I find interesting in rereading the itinerary is they planned to make a roundtrip to Farmington in the morning of June 4, and then to Silverton in the afternoon, have dinner at the Grand Imperial and return to Durango after dinner. And still leave the next morning for the return trip to Alamosa. Not much time for sleep! But apparently if the Silverton branch was closed they had to content themselves with the roundtrip to Farmington. Will be interesting what the dispatchers sheets show when Jimmy can get to them. And look at the fares!
