Posted 27th Dec 2018 to the Otago Daily Times News Paper Dunedin NZ.
I have followed the fortunes of the Kingston Flyer Train since It was dreamed up in the 1970s
I really hope the newest effort gets a break and goes some where, but since the government abandoned the project it has been cursed and time is now at the 11th hour.
The only really hope is if there new people can get the government to make the train a National Monument and give it some high level TLC. The Idea that our fragile private enterprise sector can take on what is essentially a government project is flawed and leans heavily on donations and volunteer workers. Still if you can round up enough caring, generous Queenstown residents who are also Railway History Buffs I take my hat off to you for your almost wizard-like skills with human resources .
