All came to an end when WV decided to get out of the railroad business and turn Cass over to a private operator who in-turn threw them out and did not want their support What is old is new again. Shades of when the dilettantes took over the Roanoke Transportation Museum and hired a phony director who ran off the volunteers. The Flood of '85 didn't help (but did cover up the theft of a lot of loaned artifacts) nor did hiring additional shady directors. It has taken years to recover and there are still some hard feelings in the community over the ouster of people who put a lot into the museum.Bruce in Blacksburg
