<p>[quote user="beaulieu"]I would expect that as and if the coal trains become more numerous, some will use the ICE route. Four problems come to mind, none are unsolveable, but will entail above average expenditures. The need to use IANR tracks in Northern Iowa, The junction at Marquette, IA is laid out for EB to SB movements, good for trains to Iowa and Chicago but bad for trains to Wisconsin, the junction at Sabula, IA is laid out for NB to EB movements bad for those same trains to continue to Chicago, and finally heavier grades on the route via ICE to Chicago will require more power on trains routed that way(higher operating expense-more locomotives and more fuel burned). [/quote]</p><p> </p><p>Thanks, so in what cities does CP and DME/ICE already have junctions?</p>
