Second Life Railroad History

There are HUGE inaccuracies and MANY omissions in this article.
The VRC (formerly the SLRC) IS ABSOLUTELY NOT the center of all railroading in Second Life and DID NOT start the personal railroading industry as is implied here.
Resident groups have fought bitterly against representatives of the VRC (formerly SLRC) to keep the SLRR from being dismantled or deprecated, once in 2008 and again in 2009.
There is a large personal railroading industry with as many as 20 independent train builders that contribute greatly to Second Life's economy and resident fun.
Many residents view the relationship between the VRC (formerly the SLRC) and Linden Labs as a conflict of interest since the VRC contains several Moles and former LL contractors.
MUCH OF THIS "HISTORY" IS HEAVILY BIASED OR PURE FICTION, WRITTEN FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF A SINGLE RESIDENT.
