Looks like another Midwest regional is going to the Canadians, this time CN is picking up the Iowa Northern instead of CP buying back a railroad they had sold off prior.

Re: CN to buy Iowa Northern
Agricultural bonanza. Decent traffic base - mostly elevators, a couple of ethanol plants I think, and some lumber. Will also bolster traffic on the Iowa division. Sorry to see the paint scheme go though.

Re: CN to buy Iowa Northern
Will be interested to see what happens with the north end of the railroad. As I understood it, a lot of trains were built and sorted for the UP in Manly. I can't imagine CN will continue to do that.
