JoeKoh I wasn't aware that plans for a wye at Butler were in the air. Such a wye would certainly ease NS's ability to access the old Wabash line, however! Were they to construct it, I'm sure they could then abandon other sections of their lines and thereby come out ahead in all operational / cost aspects. Thing is, I haven't noticed much traffic routed along the Wabash line, maybe one train a day. The yards at Montpelier are generally empty each time I pass through there. Are the costs of the wye worth it? I'm curious to learn more. I've traveled Rt. 18 many times to Defiance and beyond, but can recall no part of that highway that runs right beside the tracks for mile after mile as does Rt. 6, as I related earlier. Maybe you can direct me to a specific location? I've been contemplating a trip to Deshler but held off for not knowing whether or not the traffic density there would make my long drive worthwhile. Does the north / south line through Deshler see much action? Otherwise, I'd see exactly the same east / west trains as I do near Hicksville since those trains are only further down the very same line to Chicago. I suppose I should just continue further east to Fostoria if I really want to see a show!
