[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by kenneo This is an interesting thread. Lastly, double your cost of operations figure. You won't exceed that, but you will certainly exceed the numbers talked about above. You have taxes, insurances, bonds yada-yada that will cost you big bucks and you won't even think about before hand. Until you can get a good credit rating, you will be required to pay deposits in advance for supplies, for example. [/quote] Yep yep, very interesting thread, I know for this lifelong shortline rail to read. I used to do cost sheets like this. I'd get all the est. expenses wrapped together for operating costs, and then double it. Yep, thats right, DOUBLE IT! That would then be the est. operating cost. YES INDEED, due to taxes taxes taxes( diesel fuel and payroll just to name a few! ), pesky variable costs / and unforeseen expenditure changes from the original spread sheets, blah blah blah the works. Shortline railroading can be done. And I'm psyched about the new Evansville Western. So phsyched, I already put together a EW yahoogroup. Although, the EW has the P & L backing it, so it's kind of out of league for this thread. Heres the link if anyone wants to join.: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/EvansvilleWesternRailway/
