No, genius. I’ll let you correct him on the use of the company logo for this promotional video they are sending to potential customers.

A&B is the parent company. So who do you think is doing the advertising and reaching out to new potential customers?

CHS #3 is still up for sale (as well as ADBF 1760 and ADBF 1758)
Unknown status on the two cars stuck out in the woods at the end of the line.

Everyone should take some time to hike out to see those cars.

As of now, believe only a handshake agreement is in place with CPMY. Pending financial ability and interchange agreement to be set up. Routing would be CN to GDLK to CSX to GRE, also require updates to air system to make mainline legal. Will be watching to see how it all shakes out.

Maybe, you mean, DANVILLE& MOUNT MORRIS, a small New York short line, controlled now by, IIRC, LIVONIA AVON& LAKEVILLE/WNY&P. A mostly Alco railroad.

I've been good friends with him since 1988. The next time you run into him, ask him about the full chicken costume he once wore to Denny's after a night out at the dance club I worked in (where he also danced while wearing the costume).

D&MM is an extension of, and owned by (and operated by) Genesee & Wyoming. I seem to recall that centercab was at Bay Colony in Massachusetts before coming to A&B. I still remember it in orange in Blissfield before it got the paint (which orange later began to show again).
