Bruce Anderson loved trains, and he loved Big Brothers Big Sisters of Southwest Colorado. So it seems a perfect remembrance for friends and family to take a train ride to benefit the kids’ charity.
Anderson died Aug. 6 from complications of a severe stroke he had suffered almost three years earlier. He was known as a community volunteer extraordinaire, supporting numerous causes, but he was particularly passionate about causes benefiting young people.
“Bruce’s Last Train” will depart the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad Depot at 10:30 a.m. Aug. 24 bound for the Cascade Canyon wye, where passengers will enjoy food and share memories and photos.
Tickets are $59 plus the railroad’s 7 percent historical preservation fee, with half going to Big Brothers Big Sisters. They’re available by calling 247-2733 or (888) 872-4607.
