Off the Rails with Rowdy and Bethan
The Introduction: The Business of Heritage Railroads
Join Mt. Rainier Scenic Railroad Superintendent Rowdy Pierce and Executive Director Bethan Maher in this first episode of Off the Rails! Why DO they have a podcast? Listen and you'll learn the answer to that very valid question and so much more. Topics include how to bring legitimacy to the industry in a sustainable way, finding young talent to learn steam and answering questions like 'will a steam engine soon be hauling freight' and 'are people clutching their pearls when they see our marketing.'
