Has anyone read the article in the latest issue of TRAINS Magazine about Perlman? After reading that it shed a new light on what happened during his unfortunate reign. He was a good businessman and CEO, being able to turn bankrupt railroads into money makers, but at the same time he got rid of all the light density lines and things that either cost money or didn't make a good percentage of profit (what he considered good profit). And so was the story of the narrow gauge. I still wish he stayed out of the railroad business.
