Wow, what a marathon thread: Virginia & Truckee

Hi folks,

I just had to jump in, this thread came up today in my Google news alerts for Virginia and Truckee. This thread has been going on for some time, quite interesting.

I notice that the V&T is only mentioned once. People here in Northern Nevada tend to overestimate the popularity of the V&T, it's a great railroad but there's a lot of railroads to like.

I'm sure I missed it, but somewhere in there should also be Durango & Silverton, Grand Canyon, Cumbres & Toltec and more.

It's funny, the people running the government recon project quote a German visitor who said the V&T is on the top ten railroad shortlines list and the only one he's visiting in the US. I think the German should read this thread and get some ideas.

For anyone interested in the V&T's progress, both the private co and the government re-con project, go check out virginiatruckee on youtube.

Great thread, let's keep it alive another three years!
