Ill buy some switchers, 4400's and SD70's. I dont need 300 engines. The monies would be better spent in building a high speed electrical corridor from Little Rock Arkansas, Paducah Ky, Toledo OH Detroit and cross into Canada from there. Paducah can send traffic via Cincinnati OH, Cleveland and on to Buffalo and cross there. These would be my divsion points. <br /> <br />Bypassing St. Louis with it's rusting and worn out network of track sunk into the mud will give me a better transit time and lure loads off both the CSX and UP. <br /> <br />Hopefully with good electrical supplys from my own power plants and decent high speed sparks (Locomotives) I may be able to strip traffic off of the UP. (HAr har har.) Little Rock will take traffic from both the CSX to the east by way of Chatanooga TN points southeast and from the UP to the southwest by way of Oklahoma City or Dallas. <br /> <br />The funds saved by buying just 140 engines (8 (up to 3 units per train) main trains a day per division) would go into improving standards of living and improve infrastructure. Cannot run a railroad on bad track and sick people. <br /> <br />Oh, and I intend to be wholly own this railroad. No stockholder will tell me what I can spend funds on or where to go. <br /> <br />Lee
