who is "chamachoochoo" and why would they be hosting the

Supporters of the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad (volunteers there
actually (as far as I know)) This guy is hosting the pages as a way
for the rypn folks to see the info. I believe this person also
handles the shop updates for the work thats being done there on the
C&T premises.

Actually, it's more like the other way around, as CSX has been doing
this since the mid-1980's and it's UP that has followed suit.
However, I should point out that CSX in the past has only asked for a $1
per year licensing fee, AFAIK.

It looks to me to be more than a dollar but then we might as well get
used to it as all the roads will be doing this. Just the way life is
now days

Who the hell cares what the shithouse US roads do. So CSX follows the
UP, so what. They will all follow suit before long. f.ck the US
roads, for that matter, f.ck the US and you can throw Canada in that
too. If you had any brains in those countries you would all model, or
shall I say attempt to model, free lance roads and then you wouldn't
have to pay any greedy fees.

OR
A) Create your own named line and custom decal it.
B) Pick a line that was so short and absorbed into two thers before it got
to the CP that no one cares about it's licencing.

Since we do model railroads, maybe following Lionel's example (Lionel Lines)
might be a good idea. How about Gorre and Daphetid, Alleghany Midland, V&O,
Ohio Southern, etc cars pulled by your private road motive power -- perhaps a
war bonnet Tucumcari Alco A-B-B-A unit. Or, in my case, a Virginia Tidewater
and Piedmont 2-6-6-6.

I'd rather pay the licensing fee and have prototype cars.
