Subject: Proposed CARB Locomotive Regulations
Comment:
The Feather River Rail Society / Western Pacific Railroad Museum fully supports the California Short Line Association comments with the subject "Comments Regarding Railroad Museums and Tourist Passenger Operations." I am the corporate secretary of the FRRS, which operates the Western Pacific Railroad Museum in Plumas County. We are a nationally known operational museum that attracts visitors from around the world to experience our railroad collection. Aside from being a cultural resource, our museum is the single largest generator of tourism income for Plumas County, one of the most economically depressed regions of California. If the proposed CARB regulations pass without a museum exemption, we would lose almost all of our visitors and a vast majority of our support income. We survive because of our operational equipment and we support the economy of our region. The blow to the Plumas County economy would be tremendous.
