It's been reported here in Cincinnati (FOX 19 news) that Greensburg Indiana has been selected for the new Honda Motor plant. Great news for Greensburg! :-D
It will be nice to watch the MOW trains work the CIND (NYC) line.

It's being reported on the Indiana Railfan site that Honda will be relocating the old NYC mainline a short distance.
Already alot of survey working going on.

Rumor has it that the line will be cut on 9-15-06. So the last through train will be Thursday the 14th. The track work on the southern section from Greensburg to Cincinnati will begin around then, same with the other section to Shelbyville to Indy as needed. Rumor has it that track speeds will be increased to 35 to 40 MPH. Also they may be building a passing siding in Sunman Indiana. Total time for the track to be out of service in the Greensburg area so they can relocate the line is 1 year. I'm hearing that it might only be down for 8 months. After all this is built and running, it will be nice to chase trains again on the old NYC Chicago East.
