Re: NNG Any info on the Texas State Railroad

Probably because we don't have mountains and cool weather and narrow gauge and our own track on which to run as do the Colorado boys. And, we don't take vacations to humid , hot east Texas, we go to Colorado-New Mexico. Betcha a good amount of C&TS and D&S riders got Texas plates on their cars/pick-ups.

Couple of more things. Only Earl Knoob knew the secret to a successful Texas State Railroad. Give people what they want, steam. Steam trains have always had more passengers than those pulled by diesels. But, you got to have money to keep two engines running. And, inept new boiler ordering did not help one bit. TSR had good people running the railroad before the Texas Parks Board decided to cut off the money. Things went down hill after that.
