Me too. There seems to be a lot of zeros there.

$290 million does seems like a lot for a narrow gauge railroad, but they're also getting parking spaces for cruise ships.

Here's another article from the White Horse Daily Star: Railway sets off on new ownership track
Two excerpts:

“These investments will include support for expansion of docking facilities to accommodate the newest generation of cruise ships, a key to the port’s long-term success.”

and

Quote

It was pointed out the Carnival cruise lines operate 103 ships that visit more than 700 ports around the world.

Another 18 new ships are expected to be added to the cruise line between 2018 and 2023.

$290 million is probably chump change compared to the amount the company is spending on new ships.
