Hi Zack, like I said when you first posted this, nice job. It is obvious you put a lot of time and thought into it. Thanks for your effort and for caring about the railroad.
I see two problems with your idea.
1. Are you or some one else willing to buy the land and lease it to the Friends for $1.00 a year ???? That is what they have available right now.
2. As Nan pointed out in her E-mail " The experts (architects, park service personnel and museum planners) tell us the RVC will only succeed if it is located near (or even in) the center of the action. Visitors want to be in the middle of all the activity—not at some location down the street. Even an additional block away is too far. The goal is to permit visitors to interact with the real railroad even while they are inside the facility."
