RjCorman and Just saying, hiding behind handles throwing stones and barbs at PLA is classless and shows how clueless you folks are. Like Wes, I am a long time member of PLA. The Niles Canyon RR is known across the Country as one of the finest operations of its type because of its professionalsm and restoration efforts. Its also THE only railroad that is still expanding it mainline. Additionally, with over a thousand paid up members, its has 300 active volunteers, which is one of the highest of any operating recreational railroad organization in the Country. Its run by ex and current railroaders and has a high degree of professionalism and experience. Don't know which train you folks were riding or where you got off, but you are sadly mistaken and uninformed about the PLA and Niles Canyon. I don't hide behind a handle because I have lot more class than you folks present.
