Anybody here on the forum know anything for sure?..................................................Brandy
PLEASE.................
I live in the area. It is only an issue to those who do not live here and like rumor....the more negative the better.
D&GVR is a dedicated group. They are a very positive element in this region. If they were doing what they do in a more metropolitan area and not in the backwoods of West Virginia it would be national news. They have restored 100's of miles of track. Reconnected Cass RR with the outside world (they had no link for YEARS) they have done many things already stated. I rode with them last summer and had a chance to talk to them at length about future plans and they are GREAT. We will become THE railroad vacation spot of the country if not world. They have no reason to do anything negative to Cass RR.....and the state of WV still will own it so nothing big will happen.....the state knows Cass is a vital part of this region.
Please....stay calm. If it comes about that bad things are going to happen....I'll be the first to post. Around here you can't keep what you have for lunch a secret.
