Reply Edit Rustyrex Member sinceMay 2003 From: Sunflower State 94 posts Posted by Rustyrex on Monday, June 14, 2004 1:48 PM TCWR- Twin Cities & Western Railroad, a shortline in Minnesota running from Minneapolis/St Paul, through south central Minnesota to Appleton, MN, then BNSF rights to Milbank, SD. Line is the start of the former Milwaukee Road Pacific Extension, then former Soo Line. MPLI- A sister road to TC&W, Minnesota Prairie Line Operates a line connecting with the TC&W at Norwood, MN running out to Hanley Falls, MN. Line is former MSTL, then C&NW. Last check, their locomotives were two GP10s painted in the MPLI scheme, but I had heard the GP10s were on their last days and might be using different power currently. --Rusty Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, March 30, 2004 9:35 PM Jordan [:)] Welcome to the forums [:D] I hope to see you in msn messenger chat soon [;)] Reply Edit Jordan6 Member sinceJanuary 2002 From: Wisconsin, USA 175 posts Posted by Jordan6 on Tuesday, March 30, 2004 7:44 PM QUOTE: Originally posted by jeffhergert Also saw something about a new operator for the former UP (ex-CGW) line from just outside Waterloo, IA to Oelwein, IA.

Reply Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Sunday, March 28, 2004 4:12 PM Heres one that won't be around much longer: The Sierra Pacific railroad. It is owned by Sierra Pacific as an outlet for there mill in Susanville. That mill is sch. to close in a month or two (not shure of the date). It runs between Susanville,Ca. and Wendel,ca. where it connects with the SP (Oops, UP). Since this is the only reason for this remaining southern end of the Modoc lines existance, I don't expect it will be to long befor UP abandonds its section from Wendel to Flannigan,Nv.
