Us people . I guess that would be the motorcar hobby. We have been holding motorcar excursions on the NWP since 1993 so its hard to claim were jeaolus or they had the idea before us. The motorcar hobby began with train enthusiasts buying old motorcars and sneaking in a little track time "bootlegging" so these guys trespassing on the NWP are not new. Most of us believe our hobby can not exist if host railroads think were "bootlegging" on there lines . We worked hard over the years to buld up the trust and respect of the RR industry. The end result is we are allowed to host motorcar runs on hundreds of RR's across the US, Canada and Mexico.When we see videos of these guys bootlegging we have to speak out . To remain silent might imply we somehow approve of bootlegging and trespassing. As for the goverment owning the line thats such a shallow argument its hard to respond. @#$%& about everthing ?? On the whole we are a happy content group who enjoys exploring railroads in our motorcars.Other than these idiot bootleggers the only other @#$%& I have heard is when a host railroad turns us away or we loose a beautiful RR like the McCloud
