Rail Entertainment
Railmark’s “RAIL ENTERTAINMENT” BUSINESS UNIT presently consists of “Rail Entertainment USA Inc.” (REU) and “Railmark Transit Services Inc.” (RTS). REU operates three long branded retail railroad entertainment attractions that the Company plans to expand to other markets. RTS has been recently formed to leverage the Company’s retail rail entertainment talents and retail rail operating history to the now explosive US transit industry.
Rail Entertainment USA Inc. (REU)
REU operates the branded “The Star Clipper Dinner Train®”, the oldest dinner train in the country and the only dinner train that offers live tableside entertainment and a freshly chef prepared onboard meal while traveling in a vintage moving train. The “Star Clipper” is now in its 26th year of operation and is a registered trademark, held by Railmark. The Company presently operates the Orlando Star Clipper Dinner Train and plans to use its “Star Clipper” branding to expand to other markets.
REU operates the branded “Pullman Palace Bed & Breakfast”, providing its guests with a unique overnight experience onboard a classic railroad sleeping car. The operation currently compliments the Star Clipper Dinner Train and other locations are planned alongside future upcoming Company retail expansions.
REU operates railroad tour excursions onboard vintage 1920s railcars, providing its guests with a rail travel experience reminiscent of the 1920s-1930s. This operation feeds traffic to the Company’s other retail operations.
All of REU’s retail operations are marketed through the Company’s website: www.rail-road.com.
Railmark Transit Services Inc. (RTS)
RTS was recently formed to leverage Company strengths to the emerging US transit industry. With the rising costs of transportation and growing population, cities all over the United States are planning, developing and building local transit systems, also known as “light rail.” These municipal light rail systems are not designed to be revenue sufficient, but RTS offers concession services and entertainment options, both designed to provide auxiliary transit revenues that can be used to offset costs and operating deficits. RTS’s transit service packages can also be used to promote, enhance and expand local tourism and add greater public visibility to the local transit system.
Recently the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) announced the funding of 25 Light Rail Start-Up and/or Evaluation Projects for 2009 totaling $100,000,000 which the previous Administration had approved. This money is coming to the transit agencies in the form of grants. Increased funding for public rail transit enjoys widespread, bipartisan support and is now an integral component of resolving America’s dependency on foreign oil.
Railmark feels that its RTS subsidiary both capitalizes on and leverages the Company’s retail rail entertainment talents and retail rail operating history, unlike any other entity in the industry and feels that its services will receive widespread acceptance once fully launched in Fall 2008.
