When you look at picture of rail excursions back in the 50's and 60's............and I was on some in the 70's, people were able to roam pretty freely about the property and equipment without the railway having to fear someone filing a frivolous lawsuit. David Goode clearly told us at the last NWHS Bluefield Convention about his fears that lead to the end of the NS Steam Program. We badly need Tort Reform in this country and a return to personal responsibility and accountability for our actions!!<br>
