Why does this cause you so much consternation? Why do you post here? Everything about rail seems to make you angry and denounce trains
Artman, if you re-read my comments which you reference, you'll find nothing anti-train. My beef with the article is what I said in the original post: Sloppy journalism/research. Portland hosted no ski trains, neither was it ever a nexus for skiers throughout New England, or Maine for that matter. If you are grouping in my comment in this thread from 2013, my suggestion is not anti-train, but pro-common sense. Please note that you have to take a bus to Sunday River regardless, even from the Bethel train station. I was just suggesting a 75-mile bus connection instead of a 7-mile bus connection.
