Just found your post here. I will be stopping by 
: A new scenic railroad is in the works! The
: line that has been propsed for use (pending
: ORDC - Ohio Rail Development Commission
: approval) is the Glassrock spur that runs
: between Glassrock and White Cottate, just
: outside of Zanesville, Ohio.
:
: Some equipment has already been obtained,
: all from the defunct Buckeye Central Scenic
: Railroad. Weekly meetings are being held to
: plan the move of the equipment, clearing of
: the line (it has been out of use for 10
: years), creating a business plan, working
: with ORDC, and doing initial track repairs.
: It is hopeful that the first passengers will
: board in late 2008 or early 2009.
:
: However, we're looking for anyone with a
: good attitude that wants to participate in
: this new opportunity. Weekly meetings to
: review plans, projects, activities, and
: other bussiness needs are on Wednesdays at
: 6:30 at the old Buckeye Central station.
: That's on Route 40 just outside of Hebron,
: Ohio across from Lakewood School.
:
: You can learn more at www.bassrun.org (a
: motorcar organization that is doing a lot of
: the initial work) or by contacting Eric
: Curtis at erkmancurtis@yahoo.com.
:
: This is an exciting time, and the
: opportunity to operate on this beautiful 12
: mile track (complete with a wye, multiple
: rivers, streams, lakes, limited road
: crossings, and deep cuts) makes it one of
: the most unique lines east of the
: Mississippi. Come to a meeting and see what
: the hype is about! We'd love to have you
: "All Aboard"!
