that is a good question.the federal rail administration might make CSX replace if it washed out.i understand that after the flood of 1985 the FRA made CSX put...
From what I can see, the STB doesn't function the same way the FRA does. If they consider how few carloads of freight have come off the Georges Creek Sub in...
What will it take to get the 202 steaming again? A true WM passenger engine. I understand from the care taker at the Hagerstown park that John Smith (the...
Sounds like a plan John. Doubt it though that CSX would give up some of its trackage, even the right to, to an excursion to Hagerstown. Correct me if I'm ...
