[net.railroad] Conrail/Insurance Problems

Chuck.Weinstock@sei.cmu.edu (04/29/86)

While I don't know the exact details, apparently Conrail upped the
insurance requirements for running excursions on its lines this year.
I understand that groups have been asked to post a 250,000 bond before
Conrail will run a trip for them.  Needless to say, we can expect to
see trips cancelled, perhaps the first being the  Orrville to
Pittsburgh trips scheduled for this weekend.

Does anyone out there know if the the Buffalo to Corning trips will run
at the end of May and June?  I believe that is sponsored by an NRHS
chapter which may handle the insurance difficulty.
