Look, I'm sorry to have to ask this question. I wanted everything to succeed, even though I was reluctant to support the Friends' formation of the RGRPC.
But what does this termination mean for the fund raising campaign? A goal of the effort was to "...raise a minimum of $300,000 in cash and pledges by July 31, 2002, to provide a sufficient level of assured funding to avoid termination of RGRPC's contract with the commission." And it was stated: "it is time to properly capitalize the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad."
Well, the contract will supposedly be terminated and any "capitalization" might be used by another operator. Will the money be refunded? I just as soon the Friends keep it and use it to pay off all the debt and loans, but it isn't my money.
