We rode this back in 2005. Even then, it was mostly a ride through suburbia. A look at the satellite photos today shows the line entirely bordered by housing and golf courses. It would be impossible to recreate the photos of the train in cane fields. Probably the best option would be to pack the train up and relocate to a more rural location. This line could actually do a lot better to convert to some kind of replica trolley operation. The hotels and residents could at least see some practical value in that
