That ex wabash line running northeast thru Ft Wayne gets pretty heavy use at times, and chokes down to single track in a number of locations, There are days where NS runs two eastbound, then west, then east then west ongoing for hours on end with juse enough time to get the outbounds past the inbounds, then there they come. <br /> <br />Not a lot of slack to contemplate as a dependable bypass, I wouldn't think,... just based upon observations. <br /> <br />The old Pennsylvania to Chicago, on the other hand is nearly dead. If you could use one of the north/south lines in western Indiana to link onto that, you might have a winner....?perhaps? a former NYC route?
