1979 C&S News (1) Man on last rotary thru Alpine Tunnel turns 95, Kindig & Haley tour Boreas
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 1979 editions including:
George Champion, who rode the last rotary through Alpine Tunnel, turned 95. There is an audio on the post with an interview between Champion and Mac Poor. If you've never listened to it, it is worth the time.
Imagine touring Como and Boreas Pass with Richard Kindig, Ed Haley, and George Champion. The RMRC did just that in '79.
It is interesting to note that the Como eating house was "recently reopened" that year as well.
