I wonder what they will do with the equipment? Offer it to other museums or put it out for bid?

Alot of the stuff they had was rented and used for films and other Hollywood needs from time to time.

Don't count the Museums down and out until after the new Governor and the incoming stat legislature have their go at the budget.

For some current information see this post by Dan Markoff over on the Narrow Gauge Railroad Discussion Forum.
