2023 Work Sessions

Unread postby Chris James » Sat May 27, 2023 9:10 am

Welcome to the 2023 Work Session Summaries for Antonito, Chama, along the ROW, Special Sessions and the Colorado Springs Work Site for D&RG Express 163.

As you may know, there are some schedule changes this year that will make these listing a little different. There will concurrent sessions in Antonito and Chama ONLY during Sessions C and D this year, due to lack of staffing. Sessions A, B, E, F, and G will only be held in Antonito. Special Sessions, ROW work, emergency repairs and the Colorado Springs Work Site will fall outside this schedule and will be posted when possible.

Also, rather than daily updates during the Work Sessions (which take a considerable amount of time to prepare and upload) the sessions will be summarized weekly. We hope you won't mind the change but it's easier on the limited Forum staff.

If you have questions or concerns, please post them here and we'll get back to you as quickly as possible.

In the meantime, please considering coming out to volunteer! Check the FIDO schedule https://fctsfido.org/FIDO/proj_sched.php?public for projects that may be of interest to you and visit the volunteer page on the Friends' web site https://friendsofcumbrestoltec.org/work ... istration/ for volunteer information.

Hope we see you this summer!
