ARR...think of Vanderbilt or Rockefeller. What would they do? Because interstate marijuana sales is not one of them. There just isn't enough product or will there ever be to consider this a venterous decision. Lets talk alternatives...1). Offer more passenger cars for event trains. (Your halloween kids train sold out in no time).  2). Commerce is the money maker, you need to strive to connect to the L48 through Canada. Commerce will BOOM for Alaska, cost of living with drop hard. You control the rail, you control and earn the tax. 4). Old 557! What the french toast?! Finish that restoration and get it back on track! 5). Move an employee out to the resto barn 1x or 2x a week to showcase the ongoing restoration for a fee. You could even rotate the employee to spread the restoration knowledge throughout your company. 6). You need an adventure train that changes with the season and 557 is perfect for that. 

And don't tell me slinging rail to the L48 is impossible or too expensive.
