If we are going to talk about practical then maybe we should put our energy into rebuilding the C&TS first. Although they are running this year many things are left undone:
Only (3) Locomotives are running out of (6) No Spare Loco at this time.
The EBT Hoppers are not getting worked on so the roadbed is not getting worked on.
The current passenger cars still need work
I agree that this is fun to dream about but until the C&TS is more healthy then dream is all we can do, unless readers of these postings are willing to volunteer. I have.
