How can one purchase or start a shortline railroad, and what would the price range be?
Q. I have heard that when railroads abandon lines, people can purchase them before the abandonment takes place. What would the cost of this be? Also, if a line has already been abandoned, could you purchase it?

A. Well, a to-be abandoned rail line is almost always offered for sale to a private railroad/business/individ ual or public agency before later possibly being used a rail/trail. To answer your question, it certainly will not be cheap. Even if a railroad is just wanting to rid itself of a line it will usually at least cost a few million dollars (if it is longer than, say, a few miles). And yes, a private individual can purchase a rail line, even if it is abandoned, you would only have to ask the owner if they will sell it to you (being abandoned means the rail line is still owned by the owner that abandoned it, it is just no longer used in revenue service).

Should I purchase plane tickets from a travel site or directly from the airline?
Q. Some friends and I are planning a group trip to Amsterdam next year but, like most, we need to save as much money as we can. Is a travel site enough? Is it worth the time and effort to research and purchase from an airline directly? Any additional tips will be very much appreciated! Thanks guys!

A. Try to buy your tickets about 90 days before the departure date. That's when they're cheapest. Do a lot of research on different travel websites. Also, you can get A LOT of great deals if you are in college or under 26. Best of luck!

Does anyone know where to purchase a waterproof curtains to cover a window in a bathtub unit?
Q. I am purchasing an older home with a window with wood trim above the bathtub. I will be using this bath as a shower and need to cover up the wood for protection. Does anyone have any suggestions where I could purchase a waterproof curtain for the window and also a matching shower curtain?

A. Hi, I had trouble finding waterproof curtains for my bathtub with a window so I went with vinyl mini blinds. My husband also put a marine varnish over the window trim. I got a cheap set of vinyl mini blinds from Home Depot and they cut them to the size I needed. They have worked well for the last five years and were very inexpensive if I need to replace them. Hope this helps.
