Yes I went to the site described, the problem I have with this is that it only shows Railroads with OWNED TRACKAGE, not TRACKAGE/DELIVERY RIGHTS!An example of this is the State RR Map of Illinois, Kankakee Beaverville and Southern RR is mapped with the trackage that they own, what is not shown is that KB&S operates [Under TRACKAGE/DELIVERY RIGHTS] 131 miles of CN/IC to Harvey Illinois, 39 miles of CSX to Bedford Park Illinois, and into Belt Rwy of Chicago's CLEARING Yard.This is one example - give me time, I'll pull up several examples across the US, My question to you is if MRL only runs trains on the trackage they own, then why do I sit in Yardley yard in Spookaloo hearing MRL Call Numbers on my Scanner, and seeing MRL Posted Crew trucks picking up crews?, or sit in Dilworth Mn. listening to MRL Call Numbers, and Seeing MRL Crew Trucks [clearly posted on the sides of the trucks mentioned in both instances] picking up the crews? Also why in the Dilworth instances do the MRL Units come off, and the BNSF go on the train? Or the same unit changing that I watch done in Spookaloo?If the figuring is right that you insist then there should be NO MRL UNITS coming in on a train fom the west into Dilworth, or east into Spookaloo!
