Looks like the ties are going to be replaced from below Gilroy (Corporal) to San Ardo.
Looks like the railfans are going nuts over having the Starlate #11 going over the Loop---yeah, I agree that it is a really great thing and would be fun to ride. Unfortunately these are regular Starlight trains which at this point don't seem to have any private cars tacked on (not to say that that might happen) but anyone who wants to ride is gonna have to pay for a seatwhatever on #11 scheduled to run then. No if the PV owners are up to it and the rules and paramaters don't make it a major problem and if it is profitable to ATK, maybe FV owners can tack there cars onto these regular runs ofo #11 and make some bucks and provide you people a way to run there. I don't know. I'm just speculating and can't believe that I am smarter than the PV owners who are already planning this---------
