Re: rebuilding to Eureka

I don't know--we kicked this around once at lunch several years ago and the group included all the top operating personnel of the D&S, including Al Harper. The figure we arrived at was high, but not beyond reason, though we discussed only the Silverton to Eureka segment. And since then steel prices have soared, and a few other items, but many things are possible when the right people and the sources of investment capital are put together. We'd bypass the tailings pond at Howardsville, along with that stretch of wetlands, and utilize existing roads where possible, and much beyond that, it's just all talk right now. Interesting--those Shay's belonging to Ashby have been discussed in a role here once before--during a luncheon discussion with Lindsey in my restaurant in Silverton many, many years ago--the thought has been there a long time.
