You know I just wanted to say something and i don't expect or want a reply, 4 out of the 6 Engineers on the C&T are Colorado Native's, in the Antonito shop, 7 colorado native's are rebuilding 15 passenger coaches, they are restoring the tender for locomotive 489, they are rebuilding and doing winter maintenance on locomotive 487, they are rebuilding Diesel 19 with new motors, they are doing it in a shop until just last year didn't have heating, in Antonito, COLORADO crews are cutting and preparing ties for the whole railroad, not just the colorado side, two colorado native's have rebuilt the whole MOW fleet of motor cars and other equipment, and two colorado native's are taking reservations and booking tours... maybe the state of colorado didn't give enough money, but employee's like me, a colorado native contribute alot to this railroad.. stop colorado bashing, cause when you knock colorado down, you knock me down.. I am a proud native of colorado, I am a product of this little antonito town.. and trust me if you didn't have all of the railroad employee's from both states you wouldn't have anything at all.. Stop bashing colorado, stop bashing me and my fellow native coloradoans...
