I am glad to hear the RR is getting some new customers! Now if we could just get them to run an old Steam train once in awhile!

Hi Woodsy,

The $5M figure is based on replacing the existing railbed with a trail (ie. rails to trails) the cost to build next to the existing railbed is much much higher - approximately $25M for the section from Lakeport to Weirs.
