The December Trains had "Auto Plants of North America" for its map of the month, but it declined to say which RR served each one. I'm wondering if any are served by regional/shortline RR's? <br /> <br />For modeling purposes, I'm playing around with a freelance concept for a busy modern shortline (SE US) that serves (among other things) a relatively new auto plant (looking for an excuse to run autoracks). Is there precedent for this arrangement? Would an auto assembly plant be too valuable a customer for a Class 1 to divest itself of a line that served one? Alternately, could a well-run shortline or regional compete with Class 1 roads in luring a new plant?
