Could this start a bidding war between CSX, NS, UP, BNSF, CN, and KCS?  Of course the best solution would be for them to all pitch  in, combine and operate the RR as a terminal RR.  Would enable MOW to be comleted much faster using each RR's personel.

   The city of New Orleans is considering selling the New Orleans Public Belt RR after being approached with an offer.   The NOPB serves the port of New Orleans with about 100 miles of track including the Huey P. Long bridge.
