True..but this is where the owner/operator vs. operator would set the stage. Since none of the capital assets or liabilities are owned by AHR and the commission has the ultimate authority the operator still has his hands tied to the extent within the contract. Better to put on good show to your higher ups. It's probably going to take a year or two to get the bugs out and there may be a few things going on that may be seen in a bad light but I'd give it a try and let the numbers at the end of year tell the truth.

We can only hope the Joint Authority has not been so foolish as to give Mr Harper too much power as operator, and that there is a firewall to protect the assets of CATS from raiding by D&S. Charles Bradshaw, the first "independent" owner of the D&S (post-D&RGW) was quite candid that he wanted to see CATS put out of business because he felt its "competition" threatened his profits. There is a strong potential conflict of interest here, and one could easily imagine an unscrupulous operator driving CATS into the ground (in part by destroying what is unique to the atmosphere of the railroad and alienating both patrons and volunteers) so as to divert ridership and thereby maximize the returns on his private holdings in Durango. __._,_.___
