I hate to be the only one, but I think this isn't true, its not worth it and if it is, well its a waste of money. <br />1) BNSF already gets into STL via Beardstown line over UP @toland. Ore trains,GAL-STL manifest. My count on the beardstown line was about 3-8 coal trains, 2 manifests, a local, unit grain trains(2 shuttle loaders online), a ore train, and IC grain trains from Iowa. The line is pretty good shape, but Galesburg is the problem with congestion. <br />2) Is everyone forgetting they have a line direct to Memphis from Springfield and STL, MO and if they acquired this line it would run parallel with the Beardstown line, with little to no traffic?!? It would put BN in DuQuion, when they already make it outside of Paducah on their own rails. There's no advantage <br />3) the only line I heard UP was interested in was the old B&O, for coal traffic east. <br />4) This isn't IC anymore, I don't think CN will sell any lines that would radiate from a major hub.
