No wonder you were in the media, you have a great way of spinning the facts to make you look like you have a vested interest in the ywr, other than betting against its survival and hoping through some back door politics with OJ Laberon, or any one else than might listen to you, that you could get your foot in the door of the YWR operations. You certainly dont have the funds or backing to make a real offer to buy the line. Of course Timber Products and RFP do not take you seriously either. You have no real rail operations background or experience. No doubt someone in the past, many years ago, you helped the YWR with some promotions, but those dollars did not come from your pocket, rather your station. Any advertisement is of value to these short lines, and most are greatful to have it. Not at the expense of someone starting a thread of rumors of taking over an opertation.
By the way, any firm date for the CORP to begin service over the Siskiyou Summit ? Timber Products would be very interested in that information. No one has approached the YWR about moving materials. Ah, then the real issue of rates...
Good Luck with your venture.
