Fred Goff	General	Thanks much, David.	8/2/2011 1:32:04 PM

Joe Marascalco	General	Sure is funny, the bridge is good one day and not the next.	8/2/2011 8:55:11 PM

Fred Goff	General	You are right, Joe. Where is the bridge located?	8/2/2011 9:04:51 PM

Barry Kincy	General	Did they ever get around to fixing this line? I've been looking a pictures recently and I saw these from July 2011 but there's pictures of them working in December 2011 and I was just wondering with some Grenada trains of 100 cars that seems a lot to just throw away for a bridge problem when they could get grants to fix it just like the A&M railroad did last year.	2/19/2012 1:30:13 PM

Fred Goff	General	Thanks Barry for your comment. To my knowledge, the Grenada Railway has not repaired the bridge. I don't know if they have applied for a grant or not. They have done away with the automatic block signal system. The parent company of the Grenada Railway is A&K, a railroad scrape dealer. It is still up in the air about what they are going to do with the railroad.	2/19/2012 2:02:07 PM

Barry Kincy	General	But if this is the final run.. how did they run some locals and a road freight in November 2011 if this was in July 2011? Or is there a separate set of tracks they ran on back before?	2/19/2012 6:02:30 PM

Fred Goff	General	Hello Barry, to answer your question, there was an embargo placed on the track on July 11, 2011 because of a bad bridge south of West, Ms. due to a derailment by the ICRR before the CN acquired the IC. The bridge was repaired to IC standards before the CN merger. On November 26, 2011 derails at milepost 625.7 (Elliott, Ms.) were placed on the main line here & Canton, Ms. so no train could use the track. To my knowledge, there was no other trains on this track between Elliott & Canton, Ms.	2/19/2012 9:07:19 PM

Zac Blanton	General	If your talking about the stretch of track CN still owns between Jackson and Canton, then yes. CN runs a daily autotrain to the Nissan plant in Canton, plus there are locals from time to time coming out of Canton, but that is it.	4/14/2012 10:07:49 AM
