Whats worse is SOO is part of CP, TFM part of KCS and GTW part of CN. May not be merged in but still thats their parent roads. Didnt mean to depress anyone, Also good news if DME/ICE get the powder river project going they will be a class I. SO a somewhat silver lining.( ubntil bought out by someone)

Yes we are on time but this is yesterdays train

I was in the Joliet area last summer and it seemed to me the EJ&E was not a fallen flag; new management, maybe, and more emphasis on the "J" but it was often referred to as the 'J' years ago.

Doubt that it's a class 1, though, so it can't make the list of class 1's.
