Howell & Plymouth Railroad
Posted: Mon Aug 14, 2017 11:07 pm
With CSX being forced to eliminate all remaining regularly-scheduled trains on a 28-mile stretch of the Plymouth Subdivsion between Howell and Plymouth in Michigan due to budget cuts in early 2016, a startup called the Howell & Plymouth Railroad purchased the Plymouth Subdivision between the two towns in order to save it from impenetrable abandonment, along with three freshly-retired ex-CSX B40-8s and B20-8s, and in return gave CSX trackage rights.
The Howell & Plymouth Railroad interchanges with CSX at both ends and also interchanges with Great Lakes Central in Howell.
