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?)
