The Summer 2026 issue of the C&TS Dispatch celebrates the rich history and modern community preserving the narrow-gauge railroading tradition. This edition highlights the evolution of open-air observation cars from utility high-side gondolas to beloved passenger favorites. It features updates on recent preservation work sessions—including a nine-step guide to disassembling boxcars for salvage parts—alongside progress reports on the running locomotive fleet. Finally, readers are introduced to incoming executive leadership, regional youth outreach initiatives, and a preview of a vast historic photo archive documenting decades of living history.
