Santa Fe Southern RR
Locked
 
|
The Santa Fe Southern Railroad, the 18 mile spur from Lamy in to Santa Fe, was sold this past year to Santa Feans Catherine Oppenheimer, Bill Banowsky (owner of the Violet Crown cinema), and writer George R.R. Martin. They have produced a very slick 20 minute video about the railroad, covering its history, with old photos and footage, and their plans. It is on Vimeo. However, I did learn that George was a Lionel boy! We did a little evening excursion on the SFRR in 2018. Frank Frank W. Chambers 2 Sabroso Pl.

Very nice! Thanks for this. We never got the chance to take an excursion. But we took the Chief out of Lamy to hook up with the Coast Starlight at some point back when we lived there. Both the video and the New Mexican article (https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/local-trio-buy-santa-fe-southern-railroad/article_87795994-9918-11ea-8767-3f49f416198e.html) mention a brewery! Now I have an additional reason to visit. 8^D

That's cool! A bunch of us BiosGroup folks on the list got to ride on it back in 1999 or 2000. We had a company barbeque/picnic at the station at Lamy, then rode back to Santa Fe full of good cheer, a few good beers, and optimism for our impending wealth (which unfortunately never came to pass from that endeavour).

Now that you mention that, I remember being on an entertainment train like this where some dork asked "How much do you think the train weighs?" I answered with something ridiculously large and everyone laughed at me for my lack of intuition about mass/weight. The only other tourist train I've been on is the one in Santa Cruz (https://www.roaringcamp.com/). The only dorks I trafficked with there were Damer's crowd (http://www.digibarn.com/). So, it must have been one organized for SwarmFest or with an SFI event. I doubt I would have been on that BiosGroup one ... y'all being the enemy and all. 8^D

On the BiosGroup trip my daughter Flor and Chip Upsal's son Jeremy were running around throwing popcorn (or something) at each other. They were about 8. --- Frank C.
