QUOTE: Originally posted by gabe Hey everyone, Well, I finally got a few minutes to get away from my work long enough to get back to the wonderful world of Trains as well as all of the people I have enjoyed chatting with on here. Between my job and my befuddlement and horor that is New Orleans, I had a railroad question about trackage rights. How do they work? I think Indianapolis is a good example of them. Norfolk Southern does not have tracks in Indy and CSX is Indy's lone Class 1 rail provider. Yet, I am told that NS has trackage rights over CSX from the west and the East (in four years, I have seen one NS train). How does NS, get business from Indy? Can they contract with companies that have CSX spurs on them? Does NS send a local to gather up enough cars to make a train load? I know this has an obvious answer and shows my lack of rail knowledge. But, I would appreciate your help in allowing me to figure out how railroads collect freight revenue when they only have trackage rights and do not actually physically serve any of the factories located in a city. I hope this post finds everyone well and I miss most everyone. Gabe

Is this forum big enough for two top topic starters? Oh, the topci question. I have no opinion at this time. Bob Wilcox covers it pretty well.
Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
