      What's the latest news on TSR? Last I'd heard, there was a positive outlook. Has the new operator taken over now?

      :D

      Still nothing known for sure. The State Senate passed a bill to turn it over to private opperator but House has not. The deal would be to give away the railroad, $13 Million in equipment and then have to pay another $7 Million to allow them upgrade track and other infrastructure. The House is asking questions. Why not just give the $7 Million to the existing railroad and not change anything? Makes sense to me. We may know in three weeks. If they do nothing then it will close.

      Yes. That makes sense to me as well. But, politicians aren't business people. So are incapable of seeing the truth in numbers.

      :(
