[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by rrnut282</i> <br /><br />There was a "Hoosier Lift" in Reynolds, IN on the Toledo, Peoria, & Western track just east of I-65. TP&W ran them west to BN allowing trucks to avoid Chicago. I drove by last October and it was VERY QUIET for an intermodal facility. I don't know if BN lost interest after merging with ATSF (which at one time owned the TP&W), or what happened. So if a short line wants to succeed, it needs a lot of truck traffic with a good connection and routings to various destinations. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Boy, that has pretty much just dwindled and died out there, hasn't it? Shame too, with everything one hears about Chicago congestion. <br /> <br />THERE was a viable alternative to Chicago, that has been let go to seed.
