Re: You and $69.00

I suppose you also believe that 168 returning to active status is a waste of time and money too? I respect this point but let me add that sometimes the unique attraction, actually pays for itself indirectly. The publicity and showmanship go a long way to drawing people by getting headlines and thus they come because they saw it in the news. It’s my understanding that 168 and the historic train will run on a limited basis. It can’t run regularly and pay for itself, but on a limited schedule, it can cover itself and allow for unique PR. The same could happen for the D&S with the 42. Make up a unique RGS train set (I believe they actually operate a former RGS coach) that can see limited special use. This could be very fitting as Durango was a second home for 42 during her RGS operating days.
