[QUOTE]Originally posted by notelvis: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Railroad Bob: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by sojourner: [qb] I LOVE the shot of the Las Vegas NM hotel, I always think it's such a tragedy it's not being refurbished! [/qb][/QUOTE]The Casteneda- yes, it would be great if some entity would arise and "get it going" again in some form. But Las Vegas, NM is a pretty economically depressed town even before our current "downturn." They probably are more worried about their infrastructure there and basic human services. Fixing up the Casteneda would really cost a lot and might not give much of a return for the investors. On the bright side, the "Casa Del Desierto" (ex-Harvey House) in Barstow, CA is beautifully renovated -- even features a RR museum called the "WARM." Western America RR Museum. Pretty apt name, since it can hit 117 F. or so there in the summer. [/qb][/QUOTE]Were I to win the lottery the Casteneda would be a project worthy of my consideration.... Sadly, not being able to count on any railroad traffic beyond #3 and #4, it would not have the appeal to railfans that other getaways such as Essex, MT and Winslow, AZ have. [/QB][/QUOTE]
