Re: Patriot Rail to acquire Pioneer Lines
More consolidation should lead to lower overall corporate overhead. I assume the equity funds that own Pioneer are cashing out. They did a solid job of moving Pioneer into a safer more modern shortline company.

Wendys and Subway closed. The st...

Re: Elkhart and Western Project
Pioneer Lines (former Railcorp) has done a nice job under the new ownership slowly rebuilding the ND&W. Besides the Elkhart and Western they snagged a nice grant for their Gettysburg and Northern line in PA.

TPW Boxcar

Re: Fuel Prices Truck vs Train
Just wondering if the big trucking are putting more trailers on railcars and more intermodal. Ditto shortlines vs local trucking.

Has the increases in diesel fuel caused any major shifts from freight on trucks to railroads either shortlines regionals or majors?

It would be interesting to look at total tonnage carried over the Plymouth Sub the past 20 years.

Re: Future of the Plymouth Sub/Grand Rapids Sub
I assume the Plymouth Sub is profitable so why would CSX want to get rid of it? GLC interchange at Ann Pere has grown

Re: CSX Train Location Updates - April 2022
