Re: Tourist railroad economics

We are having the same issue here in Alabama. The North Alabama Railroad Museum has been forced to only offer one morning departure during the months of June through September. Even then we do no have a full train. We have been doing a school program for the local school systems to where they get a discounted fare but we still make a little money. We take them on about a 30 minute train ride and then they watch a movie and play railroad related games. In recent years our biggest income has been from kid centered special events such as: Easter Bunny Trains, Goblin Trains, and Santa Trains.
