Jeff,

Amazing to see all the changes. I took my kids to ride the Blue Goose. I remember it was around the early 90s. We rode in a Milwaukee Road coaches. They had some SP commuter subs too.

I see that only the bag remains. But what happened to the rest of their passenger equipment?

So who did Kyle sold it to and who owns it know? I forgot Kyle was bought by someone else!
