That's crazy, I don't know how they would ever run it profitably with those numbers...

Says they are expecting to get over 5,000 riders a day?
Where are they all going to come from?

Tom - hate to "Piggyback" on your posting - but this item is so small -

evidently the Lincoln Police found some UP torpedos in a Hobo camp near the tracks. Wonder what they were planning? UP said they hadn't used them for about 5 years and have no clue how the Hobos got them.

Thanx Tom

The River Line is less than a month old but when I rode it you'd think they'd have a lot more riders
