Frank Grove General Why would a new Google Facility disrupt what appears to be a profitable shortline? Nice ex-Southern whistle post, by the way. 5/14/2008 8:09:56 PM
Howard Castellucio General What is a google facility anyways??? 5/14/2008 10:41:05 PM
Thomas Raper General Google computer facility that controls the Google website. It disrupted service because Google did not want the trains passing by the facility, due to the vibrations. They also paid the county and city over $1million to build a transload facility, in order for rail service to end. 5/14/2008 10:43:24 PM
Frank Grove General They should have just bypassed the site, instead of abandoning a good shortline. 5/14/2008 10:57:47 PM
Ted Marshall General d*mn Google!!! 6/13/2008 2:08:38 PM
CSX FAN General Even though this railroad and the Thermal Belt is owned by the same guys. My question is why are they storing container flats on the Thermal Belt Railway in Forest City, NC? 2/21/2009 12:11:08 AM
