I vaguely remember that the idea of running from Painted Post to H-port was kicked around a while back but died due to a lack of private and public money and willingness.That's news to me. I grew up in Hammondpsort and I still have friends/family in the general area. I've never heard of a propsoal to run any excursions between Bath and Painted Post. Yes, there talk about having an excursion train to run between Bath and the waterfront in Hammondsport during the late '80s/early '90s... but the excursions that did happen never went north of the Taylor/Great Western complex in Rheims.
it's a moot point, anyway... since the LA&L has no interest in excursion operations.
