Re: Six Flags to buy F&W, RR connection planned!

John, please re read Russo's most recent statement from the other day. I told you in my second post everything I know. It IS true that there was a news report on tv in LA last week about six flags in discussions with cedar pt. in aquiring a steam train. It is also true that the owner of FWRR is getting older now and wants out. It is also true that for a very long time now, there has been talk to run (metrolink) trains from Montalvo to Saugus across the old SP branch.

EDIT: there's obviously some sort of confusion/fools day joke combination. Some of the OP is true but some of it has been proved false. I guess it's possible that the idea of sending the Knotts trains to Six Flags could have just been someone's idea that was kicked around for a while, but nothing official has come of it. Whatever it was, obviously some news stations in LA were fool enough to air it on the news. As for my "source", a good friend of mine who is part of a g scale club on southern CA said that their "meet day" or whatever that they have at Knotts every year was canceled and in fact, "there's talk that Knotts management wants to get rid of the train." this was back in mid March. I didn't make anything up, I just added to what has been started here. If you don't like that, then sorry. I guess I'll take my commentary elsewhere.
