Just to set the record straight. The CC&RG and RRRR each own 50% of the rails through the gorge. The negotiations for these games are being dealt with by the CC&RG and not RRRR because the city cannot threaten to evict RRRR from the depot. CC&RG has even brought this point up to the city council that they themselves cannot make the final decision. RRRR is also against the events as they have just been taken over by new management and plan to reopen the quarry in Parkdale this summer. RRRR approved the games last year because they were not running any trains through the gorge at that time. <br /> <br />The CC&RG has always tried to work with the city, the rafters, and the hikers. The CC&RG paid $40,000 to pave the public parking lot next to the depot. At no cost, the CC&RG has always assisted in the evacuation of injured rafters, hikers, or fisherman. The CC&RG has even helped the bridge by hauling parts and crews in by rail to repair the incline railroad. <br /> <br />By no means is the CC&RG perfect in every way. But the point of this forum was to inform the public of how local governments can manipulate and screw businesses to meet their own needs.
