Hi Don,

Meant to ask, as that's all street track, do they have platforms at the
stops or do they just load and unload by the small front door? How much
street track do reckon is left on the rest of the lines? And last question,
I suppose that viaduct and/or double tracking took out that interesting part
that ran under a rilroad bridge? (I seem to recall a shot of the "Spirit of
1876" car running under it).

Thanks again

Greg
