OK - since this thread is actually about how close we are to railroads:I'm 3 miles east of the BNSF's Hinckley Sub (former GN) between Northtown Yard and Superior, WI.  Plenty of BNSF action including a Mon. - Sat. local, with CP and UP trackage rights action as well (CP and UP are all through-jobs to Superior with no industries being served by their trains along the way).  CP is exercising their grand-fathered MILW rights that originally were negotiated with the NP (and were transferred to BN and shifted west to the Hinckley Sub when the NP line was pulled-up).  UP is doing the same with their rights originally negotiated by the CNW & BN I believe.  I also see some SOO units, and several times I've seen matching CSX units pulling trains.  The UP must have something going with CN on that route, since every UP train I've seen is a mixed freight with lots of CN-owned rolling stock.  CP seems to run the least number of trackage rights jobs on the line.
