Since it was owned by a company that would send its electricity to northern Indiana and not in Michigan I thought about leaving it there, but I decided to move it to Bloomingdale and kept the remnant from Bloomingdale to South Haven for tourist trains and local freight service.

So you have the GDLK. Do you want to run the interchange train between Wyoming Yard and Hugart? CSX/GDLK have them switch who does it like every 2 months?

Just to be exact, and this is because I'm a grand rapidian, I can tell you the "property line" on the "Hugart Runner" is at the Dwarf signal onto the GR sub.

Wait, you only have the GDLK between GR and Kalamazoo, right? If so, you can have it. The GR&P owns it, but there is only a local and a couple of freights on that part of the line, so it isn't really an important line for the GR&P.

I'm selling you the parallel ex NYC branchline that runs Kalamazoo to Allegan to Grand Rapids to use since I only scheduled a local freight on it so you can maintain service to Grand Rapids.

I can definitely run a transfer train between our yards, no problem. Thanks for the tip on the property line, my knowledge is limited to what I got from reading my real PC ETT's and a few track drawings somewhere I got off the internet. So you own the CSX line up here, the old PM? Looks like I need to abolish the two CSX trains I was sending up to Grand Rapids then since they have no reason to go there anymore.

Yep, I interchange with CSX in both Chicago and Toledo.

Own the old PM trackage in Michigan.

Your Line crosses the TSCR Chicago Line at Auburn just south of West 11th Street and in Cecil we have the stone spur and the MAW so we probably cross you somewhere in there.

Do you own the former Conrail line through Crawfordsville, or is that still CSX? If you do, the connection at Ames is still in place, if you wanted to interchange there too.

That would still be CSX as I do not own any of the old P&E line.

Okay, thanks for the info. Does CSX still run a pair of trains out of PC's Avon Yard to Chicago, or has that been stopped? Those would run over the Monon from Crawfordsville to Chicago (and vise versa).
