[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by tormadel Yeah I have seen that. It is where I got the orgional "so you want to start a railroad" pamphlet I refered to. But, unfortuneatly its about as good as curling up in front of a fire with the detailed version of sterio instructions hehe. Technically valuable information it's not really relevent untill you are at that point where < We've organized the company, sold the stock, arranged financeing, picked out the line we want at started talks with the owner to acqure it> then you'd need that info heh. [/quote] That is partially true, but the booklet contains a lot of information about how short lines can be evaluated. Read the "The Railroad, What it is, What it Does" book and then read the STB pamphlet. I also recommend reading the STB Abandonment guide mentioned on the same page. There are a few worthwhile lines being abandoned now and knowing how to put in an Offer of Financial Assistance is valuable in getting such lines. There are plenty of consultants who will charge you for what I have told you in this thread already. Besides, you need to start finding lines and learning how to evaluate them or get started applying for RR jobs. If you want to get on the RR you need to do so ASAP. The longer you wait the lower your seniority will be. LC
