Campbell's has started construction of a new midwest distribution facility in Findlay that will utilize CSX's North Baltimore intermodal facility to ship product to the West Coast.

Sean, Thanks for taking time to reach out and solicit our input. I'm assuming we are supposed to reply to your post with our comments since there wasn't a link to an email address or webform. Considering the fiscal realities facing both the state and railroad companies, the most practical improvemen...

Correct, no rails laid. All truck. Unfortunately the first article early Saturday did not mention this, otherwise I probably wouldn't have posted it on this board. Maybe the new facility will still increase rail traffic at the existing AARR facilities in Toledo as some of the vehicles trucked into ...

According to the Toledo Blade, the Ann Arbor Railroad is looking to build a new vehicle distribution facility on the site of the former horse racing track in north Toledo. The site, which is on Alexis Road and across from the former Northtown mall, does not currently have rail access, but is a littl...

Another weekend, another closure on Fearing Blvd for railroad overpass work at Airline Yard. Perhaps the truck bridge was the first part, but it appears that there is more to the scope of the project than just that.

That sounds logical. Is this weekend's road closing also related to this one bridge?

I'm just curious if you've heard any updates. I noticed in today's Blade http://www.toledoblade.com/local/2015/0 ... ekend.html that NS is removing yet another bridge in the area.

They just Rebuilt that crossing at route 20 last week, and reinstalled the flashers. I believe Jacob Logistics owns the tracks through there Has anyone been on Route 20 through Stony Ridge since the crossing was rebuilt in June? I'm wondering if there has been any work done to the track approaching...

Thanks for the reply. Good to see NS making improvements to the traffic flow even if it is not a big expansion.

According to the Toledo Blade, Fearing Blvd, which passes beneath NS Airline Yard in Toledo, will be intermittently closed this weekend for beam installation at the railroad overpasses. http://www.toledoblade.com/local/2015/08/01/Fearing-Blvd-bridge-work-to-affect-traffic.html . About a month ago, t...

Apparently similar public notices were scattered throughout today's Blade. There are also notices for two more towers in the paper's main section. The first is for a 165' tower further west of Toledo in Wauseon, Ohio and the second is for a 165' tower just east of Toledo near Owens and Walbridge roa...

FYI, there is a public notice in the business section of today's Toledo Blade for a proposed 120' railroad communication tower west of Toledo. The proposed tower (#46508) will be 300' west of the intersection of S Crissey Road and Old Airport Highway within the existing railroad right-of-way. Althou...

An article in today's Blade mentioned that the city is buying even more land for the Jeep plant, this time along Lagrange http://www.toledoblade.com/business/2015/04/07/City-adds-to-land-saved-for-Jeep.html . Obviously with the Ottawa River splitting the proposed site in half, any new expansion will...

Thanks for the background and historical map for this track. The only thing I have heard about it recently is that the city of Toledo wanted to buy the section closest to Jeep and adjacent the former Textileather property as part of its incentive package to Fiat Chrysler for the aluminum Wrangler ex...

Actually what passenger operation I have always wanted to see is a link between the Michingan Line trains and Toledo. If one Could say board a train in Jackson and turn South in Detroit and connect in Toledo to head to Pennsylvania or other points East without having to backtrack to Chicago I think...

But see those are pie in the sky dreams as far as more passenger rail. Even Tol-Cleveland its not like Amtrak is putting extra cars on to handle the swarms between the two points. Thats not even taking in to consideration getting NS/CSX to allow you too. For intercity rail to work (make profit) it ...

Meh. Specific to freight rail congestion, the only point in NWO where that's much of an issue is Vickers. Grade separating the lines has been proposed before but it's hugely expensive to do and quite frankly CSX just doesn't care that much about the delays there because they really don't matter muc...

TMACOG is a regional planning agency; TARTA is the transit agency. TMACOG handles transportation planning for all the communities within the Toledo metropolitan area as well as the transportation flows into and out of the area. TARTA is concerned only with public transportation within its service a...

The Toledo regional transportation authority (TMACOG) is seeking public input on the current draft of its next long term plan. The plan covers all modes of transportation in Lucas and Wood counties in Ohio as well as Monroe county in Michigan. Some of the proposed rail projects are skewed towards ex...

The Toledo regional transportation authority actually lists passenger rail service between Toledo and Detroit as one of its priorities (#32 out of 154) in its next proposed long-term plan http://www.tmacog.org/Transportation/2045/2045%20Draft/Priority%20Project%20list%20Ranked%20_2-18-15.pdf .
