Anyone attempting to understand the rules and policies of the City of Port Arthur without first hand experience and insight as to how the internal working of the city government as well as the politics of the city council is likely comparing apples to oranges. Not to mention residents, media, of Port Arthur are likely reading this and other rail preservation minded forums.
I prefer to let Jason and company, who know better than anyone what is going on, to do their best. It sounds like the locomotive is safe at this point, even if it stays in PA because the local community has had a reawakening in their past. How is that anything but a win?
If that happens, I personally, will trust Jason to hold the funds for the next "need to move it in 24 hours or else" project (of which there are many!).
