Re: RGS 20

Hopefully #20 will be here by then. To the best of my knowledge ASLRRA has allotted only enough time for the train ride before they go to the museum for dinner.
My dad's memory is pretty well gone, but he still remembers going to Durango and asking how far he could ride toward Alamosa for whatever he had budgeted. The agent told him to go to the end of the line and let people buy tickets who knew where they were going. When his turn came around again the agent told him he could go to Pagosa Jct., but he could go further on a bus. My dad took the train, but unbeknownst to him, he could have ridden to Pagosa Springs. That was the last year that train ran. He still kicks himself for that. That is when he took the pictures at Pagosa Jct. of the combine with the cupola and one of the 300's (I forget which one)fresh out of the shops. I will have to check the pictures as I scan them. Unfortunately he was struggling with film/camera problems and the pictures are grainy. He described them with the Beebe phrase "taken through a Navajo blanket".
