1965 C&S News - Clear Creek clerk dies, last man in Alpine Tunnel, life in St. Elmo

[Kurt Maechner]

I looked through the archive of the Rocky Mountain Rail Report, the newsletter of the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club and put a post together with some miscellaneous South Park Line/C&Sng news from the 1965 editions including:

The story of Burt Fullman who worked as an RPO clerk on the C&S Clear Creek Line including the Georgetown Loop.

A meeting about life in St. Elmo in the past and present including the last of the Stark family.

Questionably, Dow Helmers is considered in the newsletter to be one of the last individuals to get inside the Alpine Tunnel.

Mac Poor shares how he found out about the C&S narrow gauge and came to write his seminal book, Denver South Park & Pacific.

An 1881 description of Como is reprinted.

Enjoy,
Kurt
