C&TS June 1994, NMRA Special, 1of 2

In June 1994 the National Model Railroad Assoiation and the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club co-sponsored a special train on the C&TS. The train featured a representative collection of D&RGW narrow gauge freight cars. In Part 1 we watch the doubleheaded train depart the Chama yard behind K27 #463 and K36 #489, and then we follow it up as far as Coxo before driving on over the passes and into Osier.

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.

[addington86]

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

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? (:-{)

[gothpapa]

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

[addington86]

um 463 was not under steam in 1991!
