Hey LansingRailfan. I am interested in the switch into the old Owen-Illinois facility. A while back there was talk about rail service returning to Charlotte, but don't remember the details. Can you provide some additional info?

Also, what about the switch to the Charlotte Southern? Why are they doing work there unless its just regular maintenance?

Thanks.
