I would lean to GWI as the likely buyer since they already have railroads in the area. <br /> <br />I have absolutely no idea what they will do with the Great Lakes Fleet (8 self-unloaders). <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />While this is certainly possible, CN hasn't been selling much lately and I don't look for them to start now. Remember they do a fair business with the W&LE and I believe there is an intermodal facility in greater Pittsburgh the CN is already involved with via W&LE. A connection to Canada via water for some shipments is possible and the impression I have of the B&LE is it is in pretty decent repair with enough decent power to last quite a while as an independent operation. I'm sure CN will look at the books and possible efficiencies and decide if B&LE isd a keeper or not. <br /> <br />LC
