Anybody know the current "state of the railroad" for the Bloomer Line? I've started driving through Gibson City on my way to Champaign from Chicago and have caught a couple BLOL units idling there. Doesn't look like there's any activity aside from car storage north of GC.
Thanks.
BLOL is doing very well. Most of their activity focuses at Gib City at the new ethanol plant and the processsing plant. If the jerks at Colfax hadn't seriously burned a bridge at the west end of the line, they might be even busier. As it is, they do run 4-6 days a week to their connections.
