Reply to "Rail News: CSX Transportation is Selling Six Rail Lines"

Well, as far as I know, north of Belpre is the carbon black plant. Then there is a steel service warehouse, but itpossibly does not use much rail. The old Union Carbide complex has 4 rail served industries: Everready, two big chemical plants, and the ferro alloy plant. On north the former Goodrich plant in Marietta, and then way north above Waterford is Globe Metalurgical. All of the mentioned locations are heavy users of rail, unless CSX has run them off in the last 2 years. This does not include the big Chemical complex in Belpre.  There are other potential rail users that a short line might develop.  CSX has really ignored this whole line since the coal power plant closed. I have been expecting a sale here. Let's hope a progressive operator gets ahold of this. I have worked at several of the online industries and I know what the potential could be.
