Norfolk Southern must be asking an arm-and-leg. I guess I can't blame them for running a business, but I do wish they'd be more cooperative with what the public is trying to do.
Running a business...barely...on those lines. My apartment overlooked the track back when I lived in AA. I rarely....RARELY saw freight trains. It was a huge surprise when I'd see one come by.

It's absolutely critical these improvements happen. And service frequency must be increased. I'm fed up with sold out trains when I try to travel to Michigan.
