Somehow a 1 to 2 million dollar figure comes to mind for her to be operational again. All i have to say is shes too damn big to run. There is a reason why there is only one large articulated running, and thats by a private company.

They wanted to run excursions from Sac to Roseville, using the turntable that, at the time, was at Norden. My guess is the only real thing they ever accomplished was selling hats with 4294 on the them. |
