[quote user="MichaelSol"]<p>[quote user="The Texas Madman"] My question to you is if MRL only runs trains on the trackage they own, then why do I sit in Yardley yard in Spookaloo hearing MRL Call Numbers on my Scanner, and seeing MRL Posted Crew trucks picking up crews?, [/quote]</p><p>No one said they did.</p><p>MRL operates on trackage rights (BNSF), Spokane to Sandpoint, on lease trackage from Sandpoint to Garrison Jct, on trackage rights Garrison Jct to Helena (BNSF) -- if I am recalling that one correctly -- on lease trackage Helena to Laurel, Montana, on BNSF trackage rights Laurel to Huntley (Jones Jct.).</p>[/quote] So the to expand on the second part of the question you seem to have evaded - of the many times I've followed MRL from Helena to the EAST I've seen Crew Changes with MRL UNITS and MRL Crew Trucks [the MRL RR Logo clearly marked on the doors] in Dickinson, Mandan, and Dinworth, so if this is not MRL trackage/delivery rights they it figure that there woiuld be no MRL Units operating past Laurel as the lead Locomotives. However I am seeing, and hearing the MRL Operations on the radio well out of the [Supposed] Domain, this dosen't seem to figure with your statements.<br />
