[Kurt Maechner]

Still trucking through the archive of the Rocky Mountain Rail Report, the newsletter of the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club.  Here is a post with some more miscellaneous South Park Line/C&Sng news from the 1978 editions including:

High Altitude Car testing on the Climax-Leadville Branch
EMD sent a test car along the old South Park branch in 1978.

The Club's plan and review of a walk on the Argentine Central grade out of Silver Plume and a ride on the Loop in the days before the reconstructed high bridge.  The Loop visit included both a double header and a German band!

Mill Gulch Bridge removed
Photos of the process of removing the C&S Platte Canon bridge are shown.

Dick Kindig did a presentation of his slides including the C&S Clear Creek line.

A call to paint the D&RGW coach behind C&S/RGS 74 in Boulder.

The arrival of Shay No. 8 at the Georgetown Loop.

Enjoy!
