The first Restoration Work Session of the 2019 season has been tough. The weather in Chama and Antonito has been coooooold and snowy as the Friends and the railroad prepare of the opening next Saturday. As far as I can tell, there has been no activity in Chama yet, due to the weather. At least most the work at the Ed Lowrance CRF is indoors.
Here are a few shots with descriptions as far as I can tell. I'm busy working on the next Dispatch but I'll post some from the chroniclers shots and if I'm incorrect or incomplete, please post corrections. Thanks!
