This company, who claims to be a rail preservation company, has offered to pull the rail for El Dorado County. How can you call yourself a preservation non profit for railroads when your main line of business is to rip out track? The JPA studied the current condition of the line and claimed that it is in surprisingly good condition. There is plenty of room in the corridor to create trails adjacent to the track. Also, the sale of the rail would net around $750,000 total, which would never be enough to pave and create a class one path. The P&SVRR has established an excursion railroad that will run from Folsom/Highway 50 to Shingle Springs. The funds have been coming in for the current projects and they have a large volunteer base plus quite a bit of equipment to run. The group has been installing ties and repairing the line for their start in the fall.
