It appears there may be some hope of saving the remaining portion of the Aspen Branch in Colorado. The present operators of the Georgetown Loop and Royal Gorge Scenic are considering operations on it once they complete their final season at the Loop. http://a257.g.akamaitech.net/7/257/2422 ... -19238.htm

A&K Railroad Materials has already been told to get lost by the STB in this matter. They got away with about 8 false acquisitions in the past, but a reading of the dozen or so docket entries reveal a facinating story that the STB has about had enough of A&K. Go to the www.stb.dot.gov website, enter AB-547X in the search engine, and read the twisted story as to how they tried to steal the line. Steve
