    Perhaps a bit of explanation would help us to understand the developments to which you refer to. Thanks in advance.

    It's one of our Small Scale tourist railroads that have been around for a long time but has suffered from forest fires near it's operation and economy issues in recent years.

    Weird page. It locked my computer up solid. So I had to ctrl+alt+del to get out.

    Sad news anyhow. I fear that more such places will be gone by next year.

    :(

    Sorry, to hear such news.

    It's these kinds of places I enjoyed as a kid. I remember my non-rail fanning friends enjoying the times we shared riding behind the live steamer at Casa Del Fruita, on the Pacheco Pass, near Hollister, Ca. Hours of fun.
