Re: CSX Pullman, MI Derailment, March 16, 1998.
CP could run a double stack INTERNATIONAL container unit or a domestic AND an international but not TWO domestic boxes on each other.

Re: CSX Passenger Trains in East Lansing?
It is not a passenger train per-se. Executive train for the Sir Toppem Hat types that tour the system looking at STUFF. Bosses out of the front office in Jacksonville.
That is all.
That is all.

The AlCo trucks have bigger, beefier traction motors. No sense changing them...REBUILD THEM.

Maybe they can detour up the Amtrak line from Porter? Not THAT far fetched.....or the FW&E? I guess that could be a more viable option.
