A Great Excursion....

On June 6 1958, a rail buff group from California that had chartered a special train consisting of old heavy-weight pullman cars, ran their train up to Cheyenne from Denver, via the C&S and the Great Western Railway. I was 16 years old and had had my driver's licence for two months. Somehow I managed to convince my mom that I was going to a friend's house that day and instead, my friend John Fresques and I chased this train all the way to Cheyenne, Wyoming, 100 miles away. It was a time to remember!
