Travel article on the C&TSRR

[Allan Kirkpatrick]

Justin Franz wrote an article very complimentary about the C&TSRR in the Sunday travel section of the Washington Post on September 22, 2018. He did a nice job of describing the railroad, history, and the part that the Friends played in it. It was also mentioned the part the railroad plays in the way it brings a substantial financial benefit to the area.
I believe this article can be found on line at the washingtonpost.com/travel section.

Thank you posting the link, I enjoyed the article a l ot!
this line put a smile on my face.
"Evan Martinez, a 20-year-old whose job is to maintain the locomotive’s fire. Martinez is a fifth generation railroader and started working at the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic in high school."
Evan 'toiled' with the Friends a bit and somewhere in the archives of this forum* he has been mentioned. A couple or 3 years ago you might have run into him in the gift shop.

I rode with Even on the platform on the parlor from Osier to Chama while Ray was the trains conductor and Even was his trainman. Wonder young gentleman who is following in his father's footsteps.
