Does anyone have any maps of the routes Guilford currently operates? The ones on their website are pretty outdated, although those are interesting to look at to see how much less vast the Guilford Rail System is now.

It looks like something a railfan cooked up and probably was a spur of the moment suggestion from someone in the marketting department. I doubt it does much if anything for the company, hence it's crappy appearance.efin98 wrote:I doubt it was even the official site, looks more like a website a railfan cooked up.Are you talking about www.guilfordrail.com ?
If so, it *is* Guilford's official corporate web site. Sad but true.
Besides, you shouldn't insult railfans that way!

Actually Delta and United are losing some BIG money, so matbe Pan Am/Clipper Connection isn't losing that much money at all; since they don't fly all that much.Otto Vondrak wrote:Their web site is a complete joke, not surprising though.

Actually, I think most high school kids with novice-level computer knowledge could do a better job. Heck, I know some elementary school kids who could, too.
Guilford's Pan Am web site (www.flypanam.com) is much more sophisticated in comparison. This further reinforces the theory that Guilford uses profits from the railroad to fund and promote their money-losing airline.
