    The Mt. Rainier Scenic has been shut down. I had made a few trips there in the past and they had some fine steam specimenst there. I wonder what their future will be?

    Their future is unknown. The present owner is seeking a buyer. But there seem to be some behind the scenes wrinkles, including questions about how it was sold.
