Ok let's plan a short line shall we.
I will be using CSX's former Newark Branch and will freelance industries.
Ready?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Background.
CSX sold its Newark(Oh) to Fredricktown(Oh) branch to Ohio Central(Columbus & Ohio River) however,in our world the Newark Port Authority bought and will lease the track to a short line operator.Bids went out and the company we work for CDB Industries won the bid and appointed us to see to the needs of this line to include locomotive type..Remembering CDBI is a tight fisted company we need to get the best value for our money.
First there is 14 active customers consisting of 3 lumber/home improvement companies,2 stone quarries,2 warehouses,6 manufacturers and 1 large grain mill.
Of course we will need to sit up a CDBI transload track and distribution center as well at Newark since Newark will be our operation base.
