I'm excited about this news, and I can't wait to hear more details about this. I always get excited about news involving steam locomotives, and there is already quite a bit happening [the reacquiring (and upcoming restoration) of UP Big Boy #4014, 4501 close to finishing up, fundraising for 611's return, the deal about LIRR 39, AT&SF 2926, and much more]. I know they said they will be working with AT&SF #3751, but I'm curious as to what their own steam motive power will be. Here's hoping things go very well for them. |

I hope they work out well, too, but wonder if there really is that much business there. After all, this looks like some mighty dry country. I wonder what some trail people saw in part of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arizona_an ... a_Railroad http://www.gwrr.com/operations/railroad ... ailroad.be http://www.american-rails.com/arizona-a ... lroad.html Cadiz, Inc. itself is primarily a land and water development company. http://cadizinc.com/ Another version of the story, with a rather interesting illustration. http://www.heraldonline.com/2013/09/19/ ... ement.html |

This is a very interesting prospect. I wish them the best. |

The subject line is wrong. Except for Parker, Arizona, just over the state line, the route is within California, from Cadiz to the border at Parker. Otherwise, I hope it is successful. |

Several postings up on the list is a discussion of the same project under "85-mile Line in Mojave" |
