Breaking news as a man was struck outside the bar at Wakarusa, Indiana. The man is now in critical condition and trains are running as normal. The TSCR has been plagued by a bit of bad luck recently. Also! I'm pleased to announce the first TSCR heritage unit!
TSCR 1 will be repainted into a MAW paint to commemorate the fallen flag. Also joint operations between the DT&C and TSCR are underway about a possible trackage rights agreement to Cincinnatti.

Its official, the TBR will be no more. The TSCR will be taking control of the TBR on March 23rd. It was jointly operated by NS and CSX. Since coming into existance in 1997 its been a steady decline in revenue since 2001. CSX and NS have been looking for a railroad to take over the operation since early 2010. This will give the TSCR access to the GR&P and AA. Since the GR&P and AA have recently acquired rights over this line new interchange trains and others are:
Z909 West Local
Z910 Northern Local
Z912 East Local
Z913 Southern Local
KL90 AA interchange
