<p>Interesting.</p><p>We have a similar situation up here in North Central Idaho. The local shortline (BG&CM, formerly the WATCO-owned Great Northwestern, formerly the North American RailNet-owned Camas Prairie RailNet, formerly the UP/BN co-owned Camas Prairie Railroad) seems to be serious about resuming log hauling operations from Jaype ID to Lewiston ID, roughly 7 years after RailNet stopped hauling logs. RailNet proceeded to apply for abandonment of the 4th subdivision, WATCO came along and bought out RailNet but proceeded with the abandonment. </p><p>As of now, the line is officially listed as abandoned, and several of the bridges have some washout issues from flooding, but the rails are still in place. Ever since the timber company stopped hauling by rail and started hauling by truck, fuel prices have more than doubled, thus the renewed interest in using rail.</p><p> </p>
