Ok, the target date for finishing this is August 31st but we'll let you know.

And well we're not spending the money to rip it up when we may need it in the future when our autoloading facility out west is done, all trains that originate and terminate here will use this line. Although there are large weeds and small trees growing on the ROW, trains still use it now as well.

DT&C Rail Systems - 6/26/12 - Due to a recent loss of profits in the last year, DT&C is looking for a merger, if your railroad is interested PM me with details, but we want to create a company that has reach to many small industries, we are mainly looking for a class 2 and below. Also due to the Toledo parelleling the Detroit-Cincy line, TSCR and CSX have stolen most auto business from DTC and if no partner is found for the merger we will be slowly be selling each line to large corporations such as Berkshire-Hathaway or Respondek Rail Corp or Railamerica.

Another annoucement, TSCR has also stolen business from DTC in Columbus, Pittsburgh, and Detroit due to their TC&P merger and the EPA has shut down 2 of the 3 coal mines we served, the only thing left is manifests, about 9 trains on the Detroit-Cincy main left.

is DT&I leaving the paper RRs???

If the MQT-DTC merger doesn't work out, the DKC&M would like to merge with the DTC.

No the TSCR is too big for me to leave! and @atrainguy, that will be our last resort as we are looking for a smaller company but we will keep that in mind...

MQT wouldn't merge with DT&C in a million years, but would screw the EPA in a second

We're currently at war trying to get permitting for the sechduled replacement of the St. Joseph Bridge. Well, it ain't happening this summer. Premits were delayed too long. Trying again for next summer, but that will be a miracle

Well if you need any help with supplies just ask the Maumee River Railroad, after the TSt.L was abandoned and sold in segments, the MRR bought from Delphos to Waterville and recently replaced the bridge at Grand Rapids, its cut in segments so you can have it if you want.

I've got a bridge built and sitting in the yard in Wyoming, but the EPA is giving us BS about river bottom disturbances.....they want a $1.5 million study re-done

Well who are they making pay for this???

Marquette Rail. The stupid study they say "wasn't conducted right" THEY SIGNED OFF ON IT!

The study is to figure out if the disturbance affects marine life too much.....give me a break....its a river. there's already tons of silt every year

Welcome to my world.....

We now return to regularly scheduled programming.....

Penn Central would be interested in the DT&C, depending on a couple things. First, does TSCR or DT&C own the Toledo Branch and the ex MAW line from Liberty Center to Woodburn? And second, remind me again which company of yours has the now joint line from Columbus to Pittsburgh? Third, do you a have a map posted on here somewhere that shows where all the DT&C goes? I realize my large Class One system is not what you're looking for, but I have to do my duty as the Chairman and CEO by thoroughly investigating each and every opportunity that comes up on here.

His Michigan Map is in that thread...

PS...check my thread...not your fault, but the PC derailed in GR on MQT property...

Ok well now we currently have the OMSR about to be formed but PM me and add atrainguy to the PM too, also I will answer your questions, 1. TSCR owns the ex-WAB 2. TSCR owns that too and we want to have it triple tracked by Christmas if you could pay half and TSCR pays half 3. Look down a ways on the page or on page 2 but theres an Ohio Paper railroad map and also part in the Michigan map thread.
