In the meantime, the railway company is in the need of 15 Mio. euros to fix engines, tracks and tunnels. A terrible thunderstorm has demolished parts of the track in October 2008. Nobody knows, if it ever can whistle again.
I hope they'll get a massive sponsoring to repair the tunnels, if you want to let it be repaired, you can sponsor them yourself, every little bit helps
Thanks, nanderv, for your comment. I was at the empty station, really a sad impression. I did not hear of a real progress in a new life for the train, but everybody is saying it will come back. Hope God.
Closed for this year (2008). Might re-open next year if the infrastructure can be improved and another steam loco made operable. Also a new depot has to be built, as the dual gauge running on the main line has to cease. Search on the web, there are other postings about this situation.
