Re: Any updates on the loop? *PIC*

The last I heard from my sources is that they are not starting winter maintenance until APRIL. Now, before someone goes off on me for bashing the operation, I will note that this is MOST LIKELY due to CHS not allocating the necessary funds to fund a winter shop program (sounds familiar - C&TS anyone?). I am a little nervous about trying to do all needed maintenance in the space of 2 MONTHS before opening day. But Railstar impressed me last year, so perhaps they can pull it out again. I just hope that there is enough time to get the #12 in proper condition, and road test the #9 (stated to be available in April or May) sufficiently so that all the bugs can be worked out. There are also the cars that the passengers ride in to think of, as well as ~4 miles of track to be inspected and adjusted.
THAT IS A HELL OF A LOT TO DO IN A VERY SHORT 2 MONTHS, I hope it can be done and done well.
