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).

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

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!
