What a rough day you are having, Tom!

Congratulations on a job Well Done!!

p.s. I just had a few WILD thoughts - please excuse the following off-the-wall daydreaming:
  1. Knott's buys out Magic Mountain (or vice-versa).
  2. The Ghost Town & Calico is moved lock, stock & barrel to Magic Mountain.
  3. MetroLink finally (re-)builds the proposed line from Piru to Saugus.
  4. A third rail is added between Magic Mountain and Santa Paula.*
  5. The San Juan becomes a twice-daily round trip from Magic Mountain to Santa Paula (or vice-versa).

  * and a three-rail to four rail "swish"** in Fillmore, plus a pair of three-foot gauge rails on the turntable.
