<p>[quote user="theaterlon"]</p> <p>The railroad companies historically were responsible for many tourist attractions to draw ridership, and if there had been a market for that sort of venue in those days, you would be revering and fighting to preserve them today.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div> <p>[/quote]</p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="font-family: verdana,geneva;"><span style="font-size: small;">That is true, but those railroads were not attractions in and of themselves like the C&TS is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They were just transportation.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And they were not historical artifacts with a mission to be preserved.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So there was no side show that could degrade them the way a sideshow might degrade the historical authenticity of the C&TS with its mission to preserve its history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></p>
