Anything for Mantle Ridge to hoover out the money from the shell.

More likely it would be RJ Corman or Genessee & Wyoming interested in getting CSX lines in PA.

I could definitely see CPRS being interested in the ex-C&O mainline across Michigan so that they would have their own route to connect Chicago with Detroit. I think it would be interesting to see if CSXT would be willing to part with their portion of the former PRR Chicago - New York mainline between Tolleston, Indiana and Crestline, Ohio. No doubt IAIS would love to get control of things between Bureau, and Rockdale, Illinois if they could do it.

I know if they put up the old RI line they run Iowa Interstate will grab that one faster than a pizza disappers at a Weight Watchers convention.  

 

CSX doesn't own that line.  They have a long term lease on it with IAIS subleasing parts of the west end.  I'm sure your right that IAIS would love to get the whole thing if they could.

What lines would be of interest to BNSF & UP? Would CSX sell lines to either, or both western railroads?

 

Ask STB first.

CSX Line Sales....

With the thought of CSX sparking a few line spinoffs, anyone have any idea of what might be on the table as viable candidates?
