Ralph Price, left, spoke to the McComb Rotary Club on Wednesday about the possibility of creating an "excursion train," with steam locomotive and "vintage passenger cars" on a 65-mile railroad short line between Natchez and Brookhaven. He said Mississippi and South Dakota are the only two states that don't have such a train for tourism, sightseeing and leisure purposes. He is pictured with, from left, Scenic Rivers director Joseph Parker, Rotary Club president Becky Buie and Rotary member Beverly Johnson.
