3534 is back up and running. Came down from GR last night.

Must not be part of the group. 6410 is in the shop at mason.

Nothing is set in stone and for the right amount of money and back scratching any new contract can be written up. I'm willing to bet LSRC is trying to get the rest of the way to Toledo, but probably wouldn't bat an eye if CSX offered the PH&D.

CN’s trackage rights contract with CSX running over the Flint Sub to access the PH&D is non-transferable if CSX was to sell the line. Additionally, LSRC would not gain rights to run over the CN yard to go from their paper mill spur to the Marysville branch. They would have to have power on each lin...

Graphic traffic is supposed to pick up in the next week or so. Expect 105 to make more trips up there per week.

The only transloading on the DCON is tank cars.

This must either be new or never came to fruition, because I have never seen or heard of them transloading at either ADBF location.

I assume you were talking about the ADBF and JAIL lines which actually have customers. The sale actually included all 5 lines correct. ...
