A few thoughts:
1) Where would any of the "class1 railroads" obtain the necessary passenger cars for such an event?
2) Would a "class 1 railroad" really expect their employees to volunteer for such an event?
3) Would a "class 1 railroad" really want to take on such a large liability?
I'm not surprised that Amtrak backed out of this event, as they tried to get out of last years event also, thus this comes as no surprise.
HW has some good points. Also, without some Operation Lifesaver training along with the train, is this encouraging people to treat the railroad ROW as a "playground" at any time?
