1980 C&S News (1) - Bucking snow with a diesel and more

Kurt Maechner
It has been a while since I posted one of these, but I'm 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 miscellaneous South Park Line/C&Sng news from the 1980 editions including:

Bucking snow with a C&S diesel on the Leadville highline
A C&S crew runs into trouble with a boulder and a snowslide.

Charlie Ryland's passing
A eulogy for the man who encouraged Mac Poor to let the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club publish his DSP&P book. He also schedule club tours on the Rio Grande Southern, over the D&RGW's Marshall Pass and Black Canyon, and on the Denver & Intermountain.

The Club plans a trip on the Gilpin Tramway grade
Details of their plan and route

George Champion celebrates his 96th birthday
The man who was on the last rotary snowplow through Alpine Tunnel celebrates

Enjoy!
