> Has the museum given up moving on to Molina and even Montezuma one day?
Molina, no, Montezuma, yes (meaning go to Molina but not Montezuma). It's also an internal political issue.
> And has going north ever of RVJ ever been considered?
Yes, but determined to be uneconomical to do so.
>Is there any foreseeable plan to restore the Bidwell
There was until a good old boy killed the idea.
> or OE observation parlor cars?
No.
> Are there any current restoration projects?
Key System 271, which has turned into a can of worms.
> As for northward, how far does the museum have trackage rights?
No trackage rights, rather outright ownership of the track all the way to Cannon.
> Actually, they have rail connection all of the way to the UPRR auction at Cannon.
Which is currently impassible from just south of Dozier to Cannon for a variety of reasons.
