I think we can safely say that while there had been instances of hauling "company materials", there has never been and never will be a legitimate case of hauling freight for revenue. While it would be nice to think the cars we restore could be used to generate additional business for the railroad, it's not going to happen.

There's somebody at another board who's gone off the deep end and thinks our little foamer discussion can lead to the end of the railroad.
