463 was under steam in 1994 look it up!

[gothpapa]

Excuse me, as I have pointed out previously when people challenge the accuracy of my facts: I NEVER MAKE MISTAKES!!

However, I will concede that you could maybe be correct. Especially since I just learned that the tank cars did not appear in Chama until 1992.

Also, I just noticed that the label attached to the VHS says, in my very own handwriting, "C&TS NMRA/RMR FRT SPECIAL JUN 1994. But the time/date signature on the video says June 18, 1991.

So, who do I believe: me, myself, or you? (:-{)

look up friends of cumbres toltec it will tell that 463 was under steam in 1994!

[gothpapa]

I was at Friends, that's where I found the tank car info, but I didn't find anything on locos. Guess I'll have to look again.

[gothpapa]

OK, I fixed it. Thanks for the heads up.

[addington86]

um 463 was not under steam in 1991!

[gothpapa]

I can't speak to the entire year of 1991, but on June 18, 1991 the 463 was very much under steam.

great video of the Cumbres and Toltec Scenic. I love old trains! Went over on the Alder Gulch Short Line a while back to watch No#12, but this is the best I've ever seen of a working steam train in the mountains
