Very interesting! $217,000 to buy a village. $250,000 to buy a 3 foot gauge 2-6-2. $3.5 million to buy the B&ML. Seems like Railstar's biggest asset--money--is being overlooked by most posters here. Do we have another F. Nelson Blount or Jerry Joe Jacobson in the making in Ron Trottier?
Looks like Mr. Trottier's years in the petroleum business have proved fruitful for accumulating cash--or at least a very good line of credit. Money may not be the problem for Railstar that it obviously was becoming for GLR, Inc.
