Thanks Snoballs.
That story has a little of everthing in it... Current news about operators....money issues, talk of still continuing the line to Saratoga...then the comments section.
After a yr and a half of following this story, I guess I am just as perplexed as the commissioners. Lets see...hindsight 15 yrs ago would definitely have resulted in a toe/bike path that would be WILDLY popular.....like drawing lots and lots of summer tourists. Now they are in to their eyes with money...do you kill the patient on the operating table and tell the family "hey we saved you money" Or.....keep cutting and sewing....hoping he lives, but knowing he has a 50/50 chance at best.
Having rode the train....lots (4 yo boy) and LOTS....and knowing some of the expenses involved....I feel sorry for the operator...maybe not sorry because they are a business in business to make/lose...but at least I understand some of the concerns.
