I just do not understand. This is an extremely important topic to many of us here on the form. Why must you derail it with your dribble and babbling nonsense

Because he has a captive audience on here. In person, no one would listen to him.

This board has an "ignore" option; if you don't want to read what someone posts you can choose to "ignore" them, and their posts will no longer be visible to you.

Not that you should, but you could.

Occasionally he has something worth reading and I can usually tell before I get too far into it. That's the only reason I don't block him but those postings are few and far between.
Usually it's just the same old ***** rehashed over and over again because he's got nothing else to do.
I hope I never get that lonely. I hope he has somewhere to go on Thanksgiving besides Walmart.

It's a waste of time since most people "quote" his posts when replying to or about him so you end up seeing it anyway

This may one of those times.

There is something very important in FLL's post that I haven't seen addressed - a trolley. It may be here, I just might have missed it.

The best utilization of Laconia, the Weirs, and Meredith will happen when you can easily get from one to the other. Shop and play all day and only have to park once.

I (naively I am finding out) assumed they would use the existing tracks as a trolley system to connect the three locations.

Is there a plan for getting people from one location to the other, or will it all be Uber/Lyft/Cabs?

TheRoBoat - you can't have light rail (trolley/subway) and heavy rail (railroads) intermingle on the same tracks. The only place where it was ever allowed (that I'm aware of) was in Lowell, MA where the National Park trolley, made use of industrial railroad tracks when the B&M was still servicing customers on the same track. That was in the 1980's and very early 1990's but times have changed and things of that nature, are not allowed anymore.

Thanks for the info Trail Goer. That explanation makes sense, for that situation.

I don't think this is a similar situation, and while there may be "rules", you could have a fully functioning trolley system, and keep the rail. The Clark family could run both, and schedule accordingly.

I would also argue that given the choice between the Winni/Hobo and trolley, the trolley would be a much more lucrative operation.

But the question remains - if not trolley, how do the people get between the towns?

Your missing the point. They operate on different systems. The current rails are also used for freight and parts for the Hobo rail and changing would be extremely costly.

Also, the current rail stops in Lakeport, the Weir’s and Meredith
