Since then the VofR has been in private ownership (much to Futuremodal's disappointment it was sold off lock stock and barrel as a vertically integrated operation to the highest bidder). <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I have no objections to shortline, tourist, and/or other quaint railroad operations remaining as closed access systems, because the ability of these entities to extract monopolistic excesses from the general public is extremely limited if not altogether impossible. Eat your heart out, V of R!(insert back slap smilie here) <br />[/quote] <br /> <br /> Eat your heart out, V of R ? (insert scoobie doo rhuh? smilie here)[C=:-)] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Yes, you know, like "knock yourself out" or "break a leg" e.g. a variation of "go for it!" <br /> <br />And if you don't think that "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" is the funniest movie of all time, you may need to get your head examined.
