The Zoo is worth plenty, and now in good hands. Besides, they have a Chrysler streamlined locomotive, where else can you see that, a Polar Bear and Wolverine?

Why build it in Port Huron, so most of the traffic needed to go between the two countries can travel an additional bunch of miles? The majority of traffic going into Canada originates from S. of Port Huron. That would be an absolute waste of fuel, and very inefficient. As for funding, the Feds will ...

This would be a great project for the area, and would bring some much needed jobs, not to mention, I think it would bring needed competition to Matty Morun's Ambassador Bridge. (He says he'll file a law suite against it, no surprise there). Not to mention having the new bridge would reduce traffic a...

Fantastic shots- Thanks for sharing!

I suspect it will be medium term, rather than short or long term. (1 year+?)

It'll help cashflow, as their variable expenses go down, but a much larger problem looms and that is falling traffic levels which is deadly to railroads, as they have high fixed cost. Building materials,steel, mining, plastics, chemicals, paper, commodities, intermodal and import containers all have...

My thoughts are that CN is a house of financial cards waiting to fall once he leaves. Sorry but costing in any business tends to be similar, and with Class I railroads it is especially the case, they all have similar union contracts, etc, unlike in automotive where it is union vs. non-union and lega...

There has been a rash of horn thefts through out the US, however, many truckers and auto enthusiast are putting them on their vehicles. It has become a mini-cult. Take a look at Youtube, and such websites as http://www.hornblasters.com/ As was posted above, ebay should be putting the brakes on these...
