It's an interesting proposal for sure. I could see it working with the caveat that they maybe throw a few riders on the provided subsidies, at least to start, that they be focused on running that line and closely related services (e.g. stations, track, etc.), so the province doesn't find a way to move them elsewhere, but I think this could definitely be interesting.

I rode the 'bud car' as a youth on a canoe trip down the White River. The engineer let us kids hang out in the cab.
Of note, it is still flag service, and many people, residents and canoe trippers, stand at the side of the tracks to flag the train down.
