Re: Expert needed

I find the quotes "Let's focus all our efforts on TOMORROW...not yesterday" and "Yesterday is past...get over it, "quite comical, given the organization in question. A historical society is an organization whose sole existence is for preserving yesterday and insuring nobody "gets over it" as you so put it. Given their insistence that "historically accurate" C&S equipment be run on the Loop, not to mention using this as propaganda to run out the former operators, I think this proves the hypocrisy.
Furthermore, I beg to ask in this "caring about the legacy of the loop" argument, what caring is being shown by trying to erase the party who re-started and continued that legacy for over thirty years? I will not say the CHS of that time didn't have a hand, because that would be untrue. However, in resurrecting this engineering marvel from an overgrown right of way, I'd hope we all know the more responsible of the two parties and daresay the Loop would not exist today without them.
I see railfans are in great support of Railstar and this operator has been very accommodating to this audience by running historical, Colorado equipment on photo runs. That's fine, however, I sure hope these people aren't basing their "class act" descriptions on superficial surface aspects such as these. Ridership, keeping to schedules, and proper maintenance/operating practices are the suitable grounds on which to base this, and from what I've seen and heard I have every reason but to believe Railstar is succeeding at it. Yes, the average visitor will not have the eye to spot an ops "hiccup," but the cat will sure be out of the bag if that hiccup causes something to go wrong that affects the safety of the passengers.
Hopefully this post will not invoke flaming, as I tried to pose my argument in as civil a manner as possible. My only goal is to fuel objectivity, just of a different nature.
And for the record, I have never worked for GLR, Inc.
