Not so fast!!!

Your comment "Relatively Historic" hits the nail on the head. C&TS professes to be a historic railroad, but its not close to being a truly historic "Heritage" railway. British folks runs circles around the yanks in this regard, and its too bad Americans can't be more authentic minded.
To be a Heritage railway, structures and rolling stock shown bear the markings of previous owners, as well as making the operations somewhat authentic. In days past the railroad used whistle signals for example, which was a bit of history in the operations. Now make the railroad "LOOK" like the past and it will be living history AND a great scenic train ride.
