D&H

I don't think CP will sell the D&H as it's too valuable. The thought of CN getting it haunts CP exectutives. If anything CP is probably in the the mode for aquiring railways.

My thoughts.

With the unions screaming bloody murder about being busted by leasing to a shortline, the CN thing AND Sen. Charles Schumer getting involved politically, D&H will continue to see CP Action Red for the foreseeable future. :wink:

I wouldn't mind seeing a few business men or women getting together and buying the D&H and running it as an independent line again.

All the 7300's get repainted :wink:. But don't forget, the 930/931 is already running on the D&H. Maybe get some D&H painted ES44AC's and some SD70ACe's.

Since the southernmost portion of the D&H (Sunbury Line) has been operated as a joint venture with Norfolk Southern since its revival back in the late 1990's, I doubt that operating issues woud be a concen here.

However, it should be remembered that various tax breaks, incentives, credits, etc. are often assigned to a particular entity, and the rules for the sale/transfer of these benefits are not uniform. Futhermore, it should be noted that two nations may be involved here.

So I suspect if we dig a little deeper, the D&H in one of its corporate incarnations may be a sales prospect, but you might need a tax attorney to explain the reasoning involved.

Maybe they just want to keep the colors active, like the UP heritage units.

No the D&H is not for sale.

All I can say is that I hope CSX dosnt buy it with the luck they have had. But the D&H is a good money maker for CP. The only problem they have is that they send all of the old power on this line so more problems occur.

But......They are awesome for pictures. :wink:
