    Episode 2: The impact of politics and a weakening economy on tourism and the rails.

    The impact of politics and a weakening economy on tourism and a heritage railroad.  Did you know that running our steam engine is significantly less expensive and more environmentally friendly to operate than our diesel engine?  In this supersized episode,  Bethan and Rowdy discuss this, regressive tax structures and how to make things roll in a remote and rural small community tucked at the base of Mt. Rainier.  Oh and corn. Lots and lots of corn content.  Become a sponsor and help keep Off the Rails 'On the Air'!
