The Question

Most visitors to the BLT are highly intelligent and cultured individuals, but some leave with a bleeding lip after biting it instead of asking what they really want to know.  The answers below are to the usually unspoken question:

What does it cost ?

  1. Who cares ?  It makes us and our friends happy to see trains running.

  2. It's our boat, camper, jet ski, snowmobile, classic car, etc.

  3. It's a lot cheaper than recovering from the heart attack and/or stroke caused by too much stress

  4. It's free - we stole all the stuff !

  5. We are afraid to total the invoices.

  6. We'll get all our money back when we charge admission.

  7. It costs less now than it will five years from now.

  8. The "BLT" is priceless - based upon the engineer's opinion.

  9. We aren't finished yet, so how can we know ?

  10. It's true value is the cultural enhancement it brings to the citizens of New Bremen.

  11. It's so beautiful, the cost is irrelevant.

  12. WHO CARES?
