To JMann, thank you for you for the clarification and corrections. I misspoke about the ownership of the trackage verses the ROW. Question, does the Union Pacific retain any rights to the ROW?
I'm glad to hear that your group is benefitting from continued support and volunteerism. Other organizations are seeing a decline in those areas.

In the past it was said that the SF Bay Area could not support three railroad museums/organizations with overlapping objectives. Time is starting to prove those feelings to be correct. I've said it before, PLA is a class act, deserving of support.

A piece of free advice - Always, always, always let the volunteers know how much their efforts are appreciated! You can't do it without them.
