[quote user="beaulieu"] For Batooski - CP has the following interchanges with the DM&EWinona, MN - this is the line through Rochester and is the most direct route to Wisconsin    powerplants and it has the easiest grades for loaded coal trains.Aberdeen, SD - This is via the shortline DMV&W for misc traffic to Canada, by agreement with BNSF coal and grain to West Coast is banned from this route. With the IC&E La Crescent, MN - on the Minnesota side opposite LaCrosse, WI (technically this Interchange is in St. Paul, MN with the IC&E using CP's tracks north of La Crescent).Faribault, MN - south of the Twin Cities (inactive)Bensenville, IL (Chicago area) - IC&E serves customers as far east as Pingree Grove, with CP serving from there into Chicago proper, interchange happens at Bensenville Tard. IC&E drops CP traffic at Bensenville, their traffic for other Chicago railroads goes to BRC's Clearing Yd. [/quote] Thanks for all the additional information. [:)] Reading that and looking at the new *.PDF map of the combined systems that Andy mentioned, what occurs to me is that the route through Rochester and on eastward, linking with CP in Winona, is by far the best route to Chicago.
