Thanks, Ralph, for the update, but I tried using this address to get to this website and all I got was a "This page cannot be displayed" message. Looks like they still have a few problems to work out

I had no problem using Internet Explorer. Different web browsers display (or fail to display) the same web sites in varying fashions. What IE may display, Netscape may not, and vice versa.

I think the point still is that there are a lot of unresolved questions here. About 8 or so years ago there was an expose piece in the Columbus Dispatch that raised serious questions. To the best of my knowledge, there has never been a response to this article.

Does it matter today? I've poked around a bit and noticed that for 1997 they had lots of activities advertised. Now, on the new site (the previous one was termed "new" in 1999), they show 2 excursions and opening hours Sunday 1-5 during summer season. That looks like a whole different operation now than it was then. Give them credit that they found (or successfully maintained) cooperation from the Ohio Central Railroad for their excursions - Ohio Central is advertising them on their pages (www.ohiocentralrr.com) as well, with pointers to ORM. The rough edges in the web site (I got a "Done, but with errors on page") should not determine the judgement on their operation.

Cheers, Jochen
