Strange things in WC Land

So the $64,000 question is, how would you operate a split up entity like that? [?] <br /> <br />ie.. If CN really only wants Chicago - Superior (they've never hidden that fact.) then what's left: <br /> <br />1) Neenah to Green Bay to Escanaba, MI to Sault Ste. Marie <br />2) Green Bay to Denmark <br />3) Neenah to Manitowoc w/ split to Plymouth <br />4) West Bend Sub <br />5) Jct. City to Ashland <br />6) Medford Sub <br />7) Shawano Sub <br />8) New London Sub <br />9) Jct City to Wisc. Rapids <br />10) Wisc. Rapids to Trempeleau (Miss. River) <br /> <br />How in the world do you operate something like that as a "railroad?" The key piece, the backbone is the mainline that CN holds. So does a "new WC" operate the branches and purchase trackage rights over CN to access Chicago? i.e. the new WC handles all of the traffic originating or terminating in the State and CN is just a bridge RR? Hey - here's a freaky thought.... maybe a new WC could actually provide intermodal service somewhere in the State? Novel idea, huh? [:0] <br /> <br />If there's a new WC, it will have to be called something like WC <font face="Times New Roman">III</font id="Times New Roman"> since its the 3rd incarnation of that name.
