Is it alright to ask a few of questions?
1) Did VRA coordinate the expedition with Tony Macrie or was there additional coordination with Clayton (the ROW owner)? Can we verify that Clayton is truly the ROW owner?
2) Has Tony (or Clayton) provided any comments on upcoming plans, schedules, intentions regarding getting this line up and commercially running? Anything for us "fans" to look forward to?
6) Does Tony have any concepts in play for any alternate uses for the line other than hauling sand out to Lakehurst?
[snip]....very little is known about what is going on and we are hoping you might provide some additional insight.

I wasn't on that trip and based on you post I know less than you about the situation. Business being business and the past history of 'fans' getting involved in ongoing negotiations I wouldn't say anything I wasn't directly authorized to say, even if I knew something.I understand your response. I was hoping we could gleen some additional info due to direct exposure to the players. But Such is Life.
