...it was announced that after much legal wrangling, (the lawyers got richer,) and without too much government interference...er...help, the trackage rights were obtained for the Dubuque, Davenport and St Louis Railroad, earlier this week.
The railroad's President and head Broom Pusher, Carl, stated that the railroad has hopes to also operate a passenger train from Chicago to St Louis. The railroad will be known as "the Mississippi River Route."
It is uncertain when the first train will begin operations, as there are "areas that need to be worked on."
Always a pleasure negotiating with "Upper Management"....
Isn't it?
Best wishes and good rails to the D. D. & St. Louis Thumbsup
