South Platte.

[Chris Walker]

PffffffTTTT-it!  {:))  But I am impressed.

[Keith Hayes]

...on the double track.

[Chris Walker]

I really thought the appearance of double track would have thrown a curveball.....

[Darel Leedy]

Sorry, too easy Chris. Only depot on the inside of a double track curve? Come'on man! Lol

[Robert McFarland]

Also this photo or one like it appeared in Bogies and the Loop about a year ago and the station is easily recognizable.

[Chris Walker]

I don't get the Bogies and the Loop. Signed up to The Beartrap, didn't I Doug!

[Robert McFarland]

You're missing something,Chris!!!!

[Darel Leedy]

Yep. An $11.25, 10 minute read once every three months.

[Doug Heitkamp]

Chris, don't remind me. That was a painful experience thanks to Paul Howald!

[Darel Leedy]

Sometimes a few of those minutes are really good though.

[Robert McFarland]

I've never even heard of Paul Howald.

[Doug Heitkamp]

Paul was the President of the ill-fated C&Sng Hysterical a Society years ago. Their publication was called "The Beartrap". Rick, Derrell, Chris Lane, Klaus Gunnick, and I were founding members. Things got ugly and we had to dis-associate from the org. Paul was left in charge and it faded away.

[Rick Steele]

Tell the truth Doug,

Paul wasn't left in charge, Paul went through all the legal machinations to make sure that he was in charge from the beginning and wouldn't listen to anybody but himself.

His leadership of the group became so despotic that nobody could stand him and his entire board walked away.

I still have my collection of Beartraps somewhere, why, I don't know, but I do.

Rick

[Darel Leedy]

Actually the Beartraps were quite good thanks to Chris Lane's help. Lots of good information contributed by a few folks on this forum. I've considered posting some of the articles on the blog since many people have never seen or heard of them before. I think there were only 6 issues. I never received the last issue that Paul made after Chris's departure because of my falling out too.

[Derrell Poole]

I still have my Charter Railroad Pass... somewhere.

[Jeff Ramsey]

Will never forget the place as it was where I decided to lay my mother's ashes to rest in the South Platte River as it was her final request. The last time I first saw the remains of my mother literally was at the site of the station there as we loaded her into a model boat ballasted with her and flowers that was floated down the river towards Strontia on her birthday in 2012. Absolutely beautiful in the confluence.

[Chris Walker]

Me too, somewhat shamefully displayed at the back of similiar N.G. ephemera.
