[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by M.W. Hemphill</i> <br /><br />LC: Correct. The contract for next season's operation has been let to Railstar Corp., offices located at Cape Vincent, New York, which operates two tourist lines: 33-mile Belfast & Moosehead Lake Railroad in Maine since 2003, and the Erie Canal Village Historic Park and Museum in Rome, N.Y., which includes a half-mile long 2-foot gauge railway, since 2002. Where they are getting the equipment to operate the Georgetown Loop is not known to me; the equipment in use belonged to and went with the former contract operator. <br /> <br />I know nothing about Railstar; these seemed to be the most useful articles on-line: <br /> <br />http://www.rny.com/pubs/hz/2002/village.html <br />http://www.centralmaine.com/news/stories/030628belfast_.shtml <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />No idea where they'll get the equipment, but I hear there is a bunch of Cuban standard and narrow gauge steamers for sale (55 of them). I have no idea how they will get them into the U.S., but, hey it's an idea. There's always China too... <br /> <br />LC
