In January, Ron Trottier stated the Railstar plant in Watertown, NY, had already built narrow-gauge passenger cars for use on the Loop.
In February, Ron T. stated the "West Coast" contractor that was going to build the Loop passenger cars was already engaged in building ten cars for use on the White Pass & Yukon due to an accident on the WP&Y. Construction and delivery of cars for the Loop would be delayed (I heard until mid-2005; others heard next year).
In March, we heard from J. Bell that CHS/Railstar had 'ten cars committed', five open top, five covered, plus the CHS caboose.
At last count, there was the #12, four converted cars, the caboose, and several bad-ordered cars in Silver Plume.
