I guess I cannot answer the question as to how the railroad is legally organized. They are entities that operate a passenger train for the benefit of tourists for the purpose of a leisure or recreational ride, as opposed to point to point transportation for travel or commute purposes. Both entities use an operating right conveyed by lease or other arrangement over track owned by another party.
