Regionals in Review

Posted by Anonymous

on Tue, Oct 5 2004 2:35 PM

Does anyone agree it might be time for TRAINS to revisit some of the Regionals in the nation such as they did mostly in the late 1980's/early 1990's in their splendid "Regionals in Review" series?

Much as changed since then as some have disappeared (Washington Central acquired by BNSF, MidSouth and Gateway Western acquired by KCS), I & M Rail Link (the last of the "Regionals" series in 1997) is now Iowa, Chicago & Eastern.

For many, business has been lost and gained, motive power has changed and with megamergers reducing the Class 1's, some of these Regional's have lost their rate-making advantages.

Any thoughts?

Speaking of which, I can't recall if TRAINS ever covered that one.
