An interesting thread. If I were a potential investor the most important variable for me would be the ability to develop other customers along the line. The cardboard plant, as it was already pointed out, seems too "iffy" for me. The plant could close, depriving the short line of almost half its revenue. But if there was suitable land along the right of way which could be developed into an industrial park of some sort then there may be an additional source of revenue. In my area short lines have to be creative and aggressive when it comes to potential sources of revenue. Purchasing, rebuilding and then leasing motive power is something one short line in my area does to increase its revenues. Other short lines have gotten involved in hauling construction waste from transfer stations they build and operate themselves. Team tracks are also used.
