Distracted writer?

Distracted writer?

Dear Ed:

I think you must have been distracted when you approved the map which appears on page 30 of the September issue. It shows the South Park line to Baldwin on the Rio Grande Route between Gunnison and Crested Butte. Baldwin is on Ohio Creek and I enclose a tracing showing how this portion of the map should have looked.

I do hope that you will restore the locomotive to the cover. I continue to enjoy Colorado Central and your columns in the Post.
