[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by MP173</i> <br /><br />LC: <br /> <br />I did read the facts, however you didnt mention other purchases, only this one. The investment turns from an investment in a shortline railroad into an investment in a portfolio of shortline and more importantly into the abilities of management to identify potential line, negotiate a fair price, operate and manage the line better than others. <br /> <br />At this point my attention would turn from the actual 32 mile stretch of railroad to the people involved that are asking me for money. Do you care to share more on their past successes? <br /> <br />ed <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Check out the 11th post in the string on page 1 where I set forth most of the facts. In two places I mention that this is one of several short line possibilities in the hypothetical group. <br /> <br />I think the resumes for the individuals are more than adequate. If this were an actual solicitation I would add more. <br /> <br />I'm not looking to teach everything I know, just enough to get a general feeling of whether this type of project is able to attract outside investment. <br /> <br />LC
