Just a heads up that a slow order will be in place from Annoyance to CP Michigan City @ 20 MPH until the new tracks are installed. Target date for the patch-in is memrial day weekend, but we'll see. Got two tracks to add. Two Bridge to replace, 3 to eleminate, something like a half dozen cantilever signlas to install. Nearly a dozen and a half switches. A dozen totally rebuilt grade crossings...the list goes on :roll:

Actually the GR&P will be kept as a subsidiary to avoid monopolization infringment.

This is what all TSCR units will eventually look like. This one just happened to be in the Ex-GRP yard in Chicago so we transfered it over to ours and repainted it.

The GR&P has acquired the TC&P. These two will be merged into the Midwest Central Railroad. The locomotives will be in TSCR whitestripe scheme with "Midwest Central" on the long hood. The reporting marks under the cab will be either GR&P or TC&P depending on the locomotive's heritage. "TSCR" will be printed at the bottom of the cab as well.

The GR&P will once again be part of the paper railroads. It will operate over the original trackage in Michigan only. I will be coming up with a new train list soon.

Soon, the GR&P will be gaining a new customer. A company is renovating an abandoned property on the south side of Saginaw along the GR&P Saginaw to Durand main line. The property will become a lumber yard, and annual carloads are expected to average about 370 cars a year once the place is up and running. The GR&P will have to install a spur. Business should begin sometime in late June. The cars will be picked up by B101 and brought to the yard in Saginaw, and then taken south on a mixed manifest to Toledo, and CSX will take the cars from there to their final destinations. Here is the location(in blue):

See the Paper Railroads Info Thread, I have a map for you the check out. I believe I got the Saginaw Area stuff right on the GR&P side, so check and let me know if I have the SAMM right. It is in orange if I recall correctly.

Oops, I didn't notice the Samm in the map. I'll remove the train from the list. Sorry about that.

Well then, I have an offer for you. You can purchase the line from Monroe to Diann. Since I have given this offer to Detroit Southern as well, we will have a bidding competition. Starting price is $40,000. Trackage is very valuable, it will serve you well. If you want it, place bids on the GLCH thread.

There would be 17 to 22 trains a day, counting extras. Here's a list of the regular trains that would run on your line:

1. I102 - Durand, MI to Cicero, IL - Daily
2. I103 - Cicero, IL to Durand, MI - Daily
3. I104 - Durand, MI to Cicero, IL - Daily
4. I105 - Cicero, IL to Durand, MI - Mon thru Sat

8. I109 - Ferndale, MI to Cicero, IL - Daily
9. I110 - Cicero, IL to Ferndale, MI - Daily
10. I111 - Proviso, IL to Ferndale, MI - Daily
11. I112 - Homewood, IL to Ferndale, MI - Daily
12. I113 - Ferndale, MI to Homewood, IL - Daily
13. M101 - Pontiac, MI to Chicago, IL - Daily
14. M102 - Chicago, IL to Pontiac, MI - Daily
15. M105 - Saginaw, MI to Chicago, IL - Daily
