United Rail Inc. (URAL)

I am not near there but have been following the situation in the Adironacks. I think this is a better plan for the area than a trail. Trails work well in some areas, but I don't think it would attract enough riders to really add enough to the local economy. Right now people can take Amtrak to the nearest station, but then have to transfer to busses. If United Rail could hook up coach and lounge cars on Amtrak from Manhattan for dinner on the way out and breakfast on the way back and a baggage car for people's gear, the passengers would never have to step off because United can take over and go the rest of the way to the ski resort. This would also be great for the other seasons for people who want to hike and camp. They can also bring people's bikes to do the premier mountain bikes in the region.
