The original report about the Skunk Train for sale from from trainorders.com. At the V&T meeting referenced in the article from the Nevada Appeal, I said I was 95% sure the sale was a sure thing, putting into question who will operate the V&T.
(the paper quoted me as saying 99% sure, I'm not 99% sure of anything!)
Regarding Patriot's passenger operation, I believe that is operated by another group on Patriot rails, and is not operated by patriot directly:

Sierra is mum, but since Chris Hart doesn't deny a sale is in the works, "no comment" becomes a comment.
Stay tuned,
