Excursion Train Sought
Railroad enthusiasts are optimistic about the proposed plans for an excursion train from Historic Folsom to the Broadstone area, over tracks which have not been in use for many years. The cost would not come cheap - $3.5 Million - and would likely not be a profitable venture. Unfazed, supporters still feel it would be worth it, for the sake of preserving Folsom's rich railroad heritage. More in the Bee.Labels: railroads
