That's true. They're likely all under the same umbrella. Bean counters
being what they are would axe the railroad(s) if they showed an overall
loss. Bookkeepers hate red ink.  Bv)=

I am a life member of the Monticello and Sangamon Valley Railway Historical
Society which operates with both restored steam and antique diesel power.

There has been talk of expanding the current pair of "dinner train" runs
beyond the murder-mystery train and the Valentine's special. I'm of the 
faction that's in favour. I generally get at least one dinner train ride 
in each year. This summer I'm trekking to Bardstown, KY for a ride and
a nosh on My Old Kentucky Dinner Train. I'm checking to see if they
offer a kosher menu so I can include my friends Les and Sara in the deal.
