Steve,

I have a question. I have heard the ARR is considering purchasing the MRRT passenger cars. Do you have any information on this?

Thanks in advance!

John

John:

We have leased 6 of the cars, 2 coaches, 2 domes and two diners, for a two to three year term and are exploring the option of buying them. We are not sure whether the purchase will happen or not.

Thanks
Steve

Steve,

I saw where three of the leased Montana cars arrived back in the lower 48. Has the Alaska Railroad decided not to renew the lease?

Thanks!

John

We don't need all of the cars any longer. We received two more GoldStar domes this fall and will cascade a couple of older coaches to the Glacier Discovery.

Thanks,
Steve
