I’m not a Willie Green but I always liked trains.
Around the first of the month I treated myself to engine compartment ride on the Great Smoky Railroad. A birthday present for myself.
I finally saw a lot of the trip to my former grandparent’s place from the other side of the Nantahala gorge.
Took a trans-Canada rail trip (Vancouver to Toronto) with my dad and son it was great!
I would support this if it represented a move to electric railways in North America.
I would also like to see some 4th generation nuclear power plants along the right of way to bring the energy of the future along with one of the main transportation systems of the future.
And while I am not so sure about CO2 emissions, this is the way to generate electric power and Electric cars can use it too.
that is a great trip. we are considering it.
a very close friend discovered a trove of letters written by a distant relative that surveyed much of that route extending all the way into Maryville. He wrote to his family often as the survey progressed
