Hello from the other end of the line. If this is who the "unknown" company that I've been hearing about settling in the Greensburg/Batesville area it would be fantastic news for the line. Lets say it is, would they rebuild the entire line from Cincy to Indy?
Why would NS buy the line? Is it for sale? Rail America has been advertising this line for years as a seamless connection with other Rail America lines in Indiana.
If you have noticed the I&O has been replacing alot of ties and laying new ballast in the Cincinnati area. It's nice to see straight rail. My question is are they in the process of already rebuilding the line from Cincinnati to Indianapolis?
As far as Amtrak running on it, who knows. I know the state of Indiana stepped in years ago to stop the abandonment of the line. It is on the list of lines to be used in the midwest high speed rail network.
Cross your fingers and pray that it's not a distribution company that uses trucks to haul their goods.
