Two-man railroad saves history on Central Kansas line
Stan Patterson and Cody Dodson, in their early 20s, lease a 43-mile Central Kansas line from Sun City to Attica using a rented engine. They operate at about 20 mph, restoring the 1880s depot and aiming for a long-term deal with National Gypsum. They plan to keep the line from scrapping and preserve a piece of local history.

Verizon SBC Qwest and BellSouth dominate with 76 percent of subscribers while independents struggle with high leased-line costs and regulatory friction.
