The Munoz Lines is gone.

What once was is no longer.

The process of dismantling and removing was much more difficult than I dreamed.

Physical and emotional at the same time. The scenes, the people, and of course, the trains.

We removed, not counting structures, trains, track or control, two and a half tons of construction.

 

There are rumors in Munoz . . . . 

Word is out at the old station, shuttered and boarded up, there was some activity.

Some folks in town who remember the railroad tell of smoke and the sound of steam coming from the area of the station.

Where there was sadness, there is now surprise and hope.

I remember the day when . . . .

As amazing as it sounds, the rumor is that an old gunslinger from the south heard about the demise of the Munoz Lines. Always a railroad man, the gunslinger was saddened to hear that the Munoz family accepted an offer for the railroad land and that it was very hard on the residents. Business suffered and closed, folks moved away, tears were shed.

 

Who this fellow is, no one really knows. It is said he drove a taxicab in New York City in his early days, worked in the incinerator business at about the same time as some of his associates disappeared and then he moved out west. Made a fortune in mining and blackjack some folks said. 

 

No one is really sure . . . . 

 

He aims to bring back that railroad, they say. He ain't takin' no for an answer . . .

That's for dam* sure.
