The TP&W retains the West End, though it is out of service. KJRY convinced the STB that SF&L Railway (owned by A & K Railroad Materials) was violating its common carrier obligations. As a result, the TP&W was forced to repurchase the 71.5 miles they sold to A & K in early 2001. SF&L ran its last train in October 2002 and TP&W repurchased the line the following February after some back-and-forth. This year TP&W made a deal with BNSF to remove the diamonds at Bushnell. A "detour" is via an industry track and the old connection. A rare movement was made in August to test this detour when a trackmobile led two boxcars on a slow, westbound trek. TP&W continues to fight attempts to force a sale of their West End to the KJRY. Word is they will serve an ethanol plant that is supposed to be open next summer. It is to be built south of Canton on BNSF trackage but they don't really want to serve it. DPJ
