I don’t know what they’re charging but 50k a year isn’t alot for upkeep. People love old trains. They won’t get back their investment of 1.3mm but that doesn’t appear to be the goal anyway. Covering the 50k should be easy. Its $136.98 a day so with one round trip a day its $68.50 each way.
Of course they are, but I like Steam Locomotives. More pictures:http://www.sbrhs.org/Pages/imagegalleries.html
