Ha!

I know, very well, the "Mark" this is supposed to be. This same person has also been sending e-mails under "Mark's" name to at least one person. Only trouble is, they have terrible spelling, grammar and punctuation AND come from a Yahoo e-mail address (note e-mails from any Park Service people would have nps.gov at the end).

Hopefully the moderators well lock this thread shortly. I wonder if one can get prison time for impersonating a gov't official. I've got several calls and e-mails into my people at Steamtown as we speak.

David,
My personal Email address is through Yahoo , I don't uses my NPS address no these forums. For one big reason RYPN and other forums are blocked on Government Computers.
I just felt that you would like to hear the real information of Steamtown and from a rail fan point of view. But I see I was wrong.

The yahoo e-mail adress, as I mentioned it above, was about to something completely unrealted to RYPN... OH, and I'm on a Government computer right now....

Moderators,

Please, when you do come across this thread and lock it, please leave it online, as I'll be showing it to several NPS people over the next 24-48 hours.
