Believed to be Rail America and some financial institutions. Rail
America has as part? owners one of the esteemed Claytor family late of
Amtrak and Norfolk Southern. He is also a rail fan and not ashamed to
admit it. Matter of fact so is Uncle Ed.
Is this a win for rail fans in management aspecially after the last
10-15 years where if you were a rail enthusiast your chances of
promotion in management were practically zero.

Just read about their American exploits and surely they must be allowed
to. After all you wouldn't invest large amounts of money and buy a
lemon. On the other hand they are buying it from Jeff and I always
thought that I had a part share in the railways of Vic.
