Anyone know the status of the Reader RR in Arkansas? The website below makes it look like they are still operating.

We are still a goin', just not operating on our own property. We have been and are very involved in providing equipement for the entertainment industry, as well as the tourist RR biz.

It has been very expensive for a small, privately funded operator in a marginal market to operate in the new era of increased Federal regulation in addition to the requirement we had always met for the state, where we enjoy a 100%safety and compliance record.

We are in the middle of the new part 230 rules for two of our engines (one has already met them and been in operation for several years), and hope to have them up, running and available for service soon.
