Richard Hopfensperger General Nice view across the field. I often wonder how long CN will continue to operate this long branch before considering it "marginal" and try to get rid of it. Considering the volume of the New London branch and the drop in the Kimberly sub since the loss of the Kimberly paper mill, I could see CN trying to dump the lines to a short line operation. I may be cynical, but from what Im gather, CN seems to prefer terminal to terminal, long haul tonnage rather than servicing local customers, which is much more costly. I hope I am wrong, then again maybe some new blood would be more active in increasing the customer base. 5/6/2015 10:07:20 AM
