Checky and Wilson set this NWA deal up to fail from the get go. Close acquaintance was one of the B.A.'s for the Stew's. Slow motion train wreck right out of the gate. When Anderson came on board,thinking people knew what the game was and it did play out.

BTW,Anshutz has been able to accumulate Dozens of Passenger Coaches for his Privatized operations. There are stored in California and some in South Eastern Colorado. Rail Fans have been eye balling these for years.
