While I disagree with your thoughts regarding the length of the loop of track, you're absolutely right Sally, however, I think no matter how many times we tell detractors the truth of that happen, they will continue to believe Rob and Brenda hatched this awful plan to shorten the loop, never mind that Rob and Brenda basically didn't have a choice, no, according to them this was all their doing. On a side note, I'm thrilled that it looks like like #21 will ride the rails again. I also find that some railfans have a double standard to Edaville. They give the OK for other tourist railroads to not use steam as much given recent costs and insurance have skyrocketed, but criticize Edaville for doing the same.
