Hi, Ed -

PLEASE, can I have a copy of that photo* for inclusion on Volume 2 of the "Help Save #483" screen saver**?

It is just as much part of the history of the C&TS as Ernie's own photos of the track gang (of which I was a member) clearing the track in 'The Narrows' and re-laying the highway crossing on Labor Day, 1970 - the day that #483 brought C&TS' first train from Antonito into Chama. (The same day that the news in Denver made a big deal of our success and of the washout on the D&RGW that kept their train from reaching Silverton ... )

- Russo Loco

* at least 2000x1500 dpi, to allow some rotation correction & cropping

** "Narrow Gauge Over Cumbres - The Transition Years"
