American Heritage Railways to Operate the C&TS
From the Durango Herald:
An oral agreement was reached Tuesday between Harper and the chairman of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad Commission, which operated the railroad for the states of Colorado and New Mexico, which jointly own the railroad.
The agreement tentatively calls for American Heritage Railways to operate the line for five years, Harper said.

“We really believe we can do some great things for the Cumbres-Toltec,” he said. “It’s already a great railroad, and we’re just going to open it up to give more people an opportunity to enjoy what it has to offer.”

No. 484 is being hauled by road from Chama, NM to Cumbres, CO, to be used on the eastern end of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad as a result of the Lobato Trestle fire.
