19th Century Victorian Steam Locomotive Round Up schedule

[Paul Davenport]

Here is the schedule publicly posted and shared by C&T honchos in various places. I'm sharing the schedule here in the interest of filling in folks who haven't seen it elsewhere so they can make arrangements as they see fit. I personally am glad that I plan to be volunteering in Chama during the F2 work session and hopefully will be glad to see at least a small limited part of these movements.
