Re: CN Flat Rock sub in Carleton MI

Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday is the general operating plan for the DSWI to go to Flat Rock.

Let's imagine that instead of RailAmerica's CF&E leasing the former Pennsy from Chicago to Crestline in 2004, a different group leased it and started a railroad under the same name. In early 2004, CSX Transportation, Norfolk Southern and Mid-America Transportation LLC came to terms on a five year le...

Re: Quick I&O question.

The LNL will occasionally work Patrick Plastics in Leipsic, but any work in the Ottawa Loop is typically handled by a local crew out of either Delta or the Lima yard crew. Mike, the Delta crew will work Delta-Ottawa from time to time. Lima Yard crew will work as far south as Jackson Center if needed.
