Whew! Thought Randy Stahl just got saddled with a new nightmare.

You are referring to San Luis & Rio Grande RR (Permean Basin Railroads/ Ed Ellis) and not San Luis Central RR (Ed BurkhardtRailWorld) or the moribund Southern San Luis Valley RR (Ellis is in the process of buying what little is left, so we are told, does he get the D-500 critter?)

Mudchicken Nothing is worth taking the risk of losing a life over. Come home tonight in the same condition that you left home this morning in. Safety begins with ME.... cinscocom-west
