If the "140,000" passengers drive to "Carson City" [drako road station site isnt far from Mound House], for the priveledge of riding a train to Gold Hill, and a bus to Virginia city, I would be surprized. There is a direct road from Reno to Virginia City, where folks could board a steam train--or a bus to the Gold Hill steam train. It looks like a hard sell for the commission, unless they settle with the existing V&TRR. I can't figure how Carson City expects to entice tourists to take a longer drive and ride from there. rh
