Re: Royal Gorge Route Railroad Reopening on Saturday May 23, 2020

Weird times indeed.....

just by way of an update, the Royal Gorge Route's "opening" May 23 is being done in spite of the state and local bureaucrats, they are threatening to shut the railroad down, arrest people, pull business licenses etc if the railroad opens. So basically, the state of Colorado is offering its small, local, business owning citizens two choices; go broke and go away or go broke and go away. Mark Greksa is Mark Greksa, but in my opinion, his message is not wrong, Colorado government is pushing its citizens beyond the breaking point.

In other joyous news, Clear Creek County has expanded its ban on non residents indefinitely. Colorado as we knew it and the narrow gauge history that we love is being changed forever (for the worse in my opinion) by a handful of people who are still getting their paychecks and are in no danger of losing them. Scary does not even begin to cover what we are seeing.
