CSX demise?

I do not know what happened to 90 % of my topic. I guess it is out in the vast ether of the internet somewhere. I will try to reconstruct as best I can: <br /> <br />What is CSX trying to do-go out of business? Cases in point: <br /> <br />CSX ripped up one track of the B&O main line between Pittsburgh and Chicago a few years ago. I have heard that they are replacing that track now. Talk about a great planning department! <br /> <br />CSX abandoned a perfectly good north-south line between southern West Virginia and Harrisburg that passed all of the congestion of the east coast. Now the Cass Scenic Railroad at Cass WV is isolated. <br /> <br />CAS abandoned the Washington-St Louis main line between Grafton and Parkersburg WV. Now an east-west shipment must go through Pittsburgh or the C&O main line in southern WV. <br /> <br />A look at their CSX map shows many severed lines. One now knows how the expression about a hell of a way to run a railroad originated. <br /> <br /> <br />I do not think CSX will go belly up but will come close to it. Enlightened management would do wonders.
