Following up on last month's post,
State's Sale of Railroad Has Colorado's Citizens Fearing the Future,
V&S Railway has indeed thrown the switch, taking the Towner Line, a rail route connecting Pueblo with Kansas and the east, one step closer to oblivion by announcing its intention to abandon service and rip up the rails. The
Pueblo Chieftain has more with "
Owner plans to scrap Towner Line." If Colorado wants to keep the line operational, it has the option. But finding $15 Million, what the
Chieftain claims it may take, in a budget already fairly stripped down, may take some serious effort. On the other hand, the alternative may be more costly to the future of Colorado.
A lot of people are coming to my post on the Towner Line through Google search. People ARE worried. We need to find a way to make our politicians pay a political price for messing this up.
