Choo Choo Contractor Bye-Bye
The Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad Commission voted to fire its operating contractor.
George Bartholomew, head of the company that runs the 64-mile narrow gauge railroad, was given 30 days to take care of delayed financial statements, track and engine repairs, and other problems with the railroad. Bartholomew blames the problems on bad weather and publicity, and is working his crews hard to meet the deadline. No replacement operator has been chosen.
