like a Disney ride, an hour each way. good visuals from an elevated rail. probably relatively cheap trip. when the scammers started pitching rail they tried to sell it as all local benefits and avoided tourists. but in the end tourists "touring" on the train will end up being the major funding mechanism IMO
