I'm reading that very group Right nowMaybe if UP takes it over, it'll be completely double tracked?also, there may be some truth to it, now with UP slapping the UPS service out of BNSF's hand, UP would be a true trans-con networkah well better then NS or BNSF getting it (both of which i am not to fond of)

UP will again become trans-continental....UP will also take over every railroad system in the country and thn the world, and will become the ONE railroad at the end of everything......either that or GWI will purchase everything......or maybe Microsoft.....

RE: UP East?

I think that group might be mis-informed. CSX will take the UPS train east through New York just as it always have, only now it will be partly with UP.Some of these groups like to start talk about stuff like this, which has no value. CSX is not about to give up Selkirk, and the above mentioned lines.Chris Bogley

RE: UP East?

When i first read it i was completely shocked and i dont really believe it because teh Chicago Line and Boston Line are two of CSX's major lines in the northeast and i highly doubt that CSX would give up the lines and also Selkirk. Although that would be amazing if they did. CSX for life! They can beat UP anytime!ps. CSX will take over the railroading world long before UP ever would. Lets go CSX

RE: UP East?

I dont belive it but it would be very odd to see this happen. But double tracking the Riverline i think could be very cool.Lets go CSX
