COSTA RICA

[NW Mailing List]

My wife just returned on Tuesday (01/23/18) from 2 weeks in CR. She was told the current governor did not like railroads & had all of them removed & scraped. She was told that busses are the method of transport. There is an election there in the next few weeks & the folks are hoping the new "guy" will rebuild their rail system. It will be interesting what you learn about this topic during your visit. Update us when you return. Enjoy & safe travels.

There  is a narrow gauge railroad on the east coast. As part of a tour from the cruise boats, we rode it in an open window coach behind a diesel.

We are travelling to CR this summer and I seem to recall that one of our members lives there?  Just wanted to ask if he/she knew of any active railroads there.  I tried wikapedia and they sent me on to a site which was a bit out of date.  Any current information would be appreciated.


PS - we also have heard that it's a great place to retire to?  Anybody confirm that?  


Thanks to all and I await 611 return to glory.  I've ridden behind her twice and 1218 once from Fairfax to Mr. Jefferson's University.
