The re-structuring should be benefitting the Napoleon Plant, They also recently opened a $40,000,000 Facility near Willard OH to produce Goldfish ! Soup sales are soaring.. when things are good soup sales go flat.. when things get tough soup sales soar !

That's a good question. NS is using 136# rail from SDI to replace both rails on the New Castle District from Muncie to the Fort. It takes a lot of work to swap out the extrusion plate and all the shaping rollers in a mill like SDI. They prefer, obviously, to produce huge batches of one size. To sta...

They are putting down new track to store ...

The westward extension toward Chicago is progressing...westward. In fact, the gang is almost to 550E, which is about two and a half miles to the west of South Milford.. The extension is 7000' and will be used to hold cars for loading and is on the former ROW

That's a lot of interesting information! What does it signify when a city name is in bold font , compared to the cities listed in regular font? Such as Fort Wayne compared to Crestline. (timetable) I don't have an answer.. can't tell by looking at the schedule.. I'm guessing the type of service off...
