BNSF train count is closer to 35-45, and CP is about 20 in a day.

Re: ADBF Question

I believe the line was marked for abandonment in 1976 and the state of Michigan paid Conrail a subsidy as the designated operator. It was similar to the agreement with the Michigan Northern and Hillsdale County.

Re: US Rail Traffic Falls Significantly

The weekly stats are the least useful. Intermodal can show a major loss if the UPS peak season is shifted by a week or two, even with the same overall traffic levels. A late harvest can skew the weekly grain numbers. And a warm fall can flatten coal, even if traffic comes back in a cold winter.
