[PRCo] Re: Belize, Calcutta, Caribbean, Phoenix and so forth

[John Swindler]

Hi Fred

Carol and I don't exclude places just because there are no rail lines.  It's 
not our top priority.  But it is also nice to know what exists just in case 
one is in the area. (where there are some rail lines)  For example, during a 
recent holiday in New Hampshire, it was nice to know that a tourist line 
exists at Bellows Falls.  And if traveling towards Bar Harbor, if Lowell 
just happens to get in the way....

Everyone on this list has a rail interest.  It's just the emphasis that 
varies.

John
