I know that the Grand Canyon Railway is a bit over 60 miles long, and is privately owned, is profitable, and has a destination that attracts people from all over the world. What is the attraction in Lake Placid that will get people to travel nearly twice that distance that wasn't there when the state shut down their version of the railroad?I'm at a loss. when did the state shut down any railroad?
