Re: Update on Rail Removal
Well, I don't remember the exact details offhand. But they're moving a
LOT of cars each month. Lot of traffic with JC Chemical; salt is
being trucked in and loaded on cars to go to Florida

I'd love to see some historical markers along the new trail similar to the

Hi Johnny,
Some thoughts -
I have ridden the domes at both Rio Grande Scenic and Royal Gorge. I also splurged once and did the cab ride at the Royal Gorge.
Both are stunning, stunning trips

It makes sense. They will want the 112 lb rail much more than the 70, and it switches over there at Bemberg. Plus easy to load.
