Back in 2000 when I was shooting "Colorado's Scenic Train Rides" I spent a very enjoyable day with Don Shank on the Creede Branch. I came away with nothing but good feelings about the future of the line.
Being buried with "life" right now, I haven't been able to get out that way as much as I did in the past, but the few times I've been there I've come to the understanding that South Fork and Creede are polar opposites on the issue, the good people of South Fork being very much in favor of the train.
I sure do hope that they can pull it off in the future.
