In case you missed it in Flimsies, here's a good newspiece on the Naugatuck RR in Connecticut, with good quotes from President Howard Pincus. This is the kind of press we all should be generating.

Here's another good piece on how restoration of the Santa Fe's old La Posada hotel in Winslow, AZ helped revive the town. The Grand Canyon Ry. has had a similar effect on Williams, AZ.

And yet another from Mark Bassett and the Nevada Northern, praising, not complaining about his community's involvement in the project. Good stuff here..

The wife and I stayed at La Posada in Winslow just about a year ago. We detrained from the Southwest Chief in Albuquerque and picked up the rental car, driving on to Winslow that night. We had a room which opened out onto the patio area and the station platform. Our time there was too short as we had to be in Williams the next morning in order to ride the Grand Canyon Rwy. It is a beautiful restoration and one of those places that you feel very comfortable and cozy in. I'd go back in a heartbeat.
