Tracy is a small piece of property. Forget it.

Rio Vista/WRM will never happen. Like previously mentioned, middle of nowhere.

Union Pacific has communicated that the GGRM equipment can move in freight. Regional Transportation Commission is helping with logistics. So please stop with the "Union Pacific won't let them move" BS please. (how do you think they got to the NCRy in the first place?)

The Cuckoos in Santa Cruz are vocal, but lack the strength in politics and have shown residents of Santa Cruz they are a fringe group that are not taken seriously.

Iowa Pacific, Santa Cruz Big Trees & Pacific and GGRM will not be fighting over customers, if anything, they will enhance the draw. They each offer a different experience with varying amounts of operation time.
