without the Friends! However, without the "Friends" involement there would be: No Tank Cars on the property, no Snow Shed left to view, the Cumbres section house would be on the way to ruin and the Car Inspectors house would be a pile of fire wood! I could go on and on about what would be missing from this railroad, but I think you get the point. Yes, there would be a few Engines left to pull the made to look historic passenger cars over the mountain. Yipee! You detractors who constantly ridicule the "Friends" just might get your wish one day when we all just pack up and go away.... Good luck!!!
