[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by oltmannd</i> <br /><br />Anybody interested in owning/investing in shortlines should check this out: <br /> <br />http://www.rblanchard.com/ <br /> <br />Lots of good stuff there. <br /> <br />Also, a shortline needs someone familiar with the commercial side of the business as well as someone familiar with IT requirements for shortlines. It is nearly a requirement to be able to send and receive trip plans/ETI/ETA messages these days. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />IT issues are easily handled through Railinc and a couple of other vendors who provide the software necessary and all the support you could want on a per carload basis. It will be a line item in the pro forma budget. <br /> <br />LC <br /> <br />
