125th Anniversary of D&RG arriving in Chama ...

Hi Roger et al -
What, if any, are the plans to celebrate (or ignore) the 125th anniversary of the D&RG's* arrival in Chama on New Years Eve?
Does the Commission have the wherewithall to fire up an engine and pull a train into town from Lobato, in conjunction with an appropriate dinner / dance / fireworks, etc.? With a New Beginning on the horizon, what does the town have planned, if anything?? Or will recognition of the event be limited to a certain civic-minded induhvidual creating a few commemorative banners for the light posts, roasting a goat, and adding a little Irish Whiskey to The Hotel's pot of coffee??? . .

p.s. for Roger - I have FINALLY gotten around to moving the Screen Saver previews over to the 483 site, and adding a bit of text. Check it out, and make corrections as you deem necessary.
