Reappearing railroad blues

Now, see what that evil Mitch Daniels has started. Here's another disposal of precious infrastructure assets to a foreign company. Why, this is just . . .

. . . Oh, wait. It's a Candadian company, selling rail lines it owns, in Indiana. To the Indiana Rail Road Co.

Never mind.

Do you mean to tell me some "ferners" have owned that rail line all this time? Do you suppose if the dems had known this, they would have run them out on a rail?

Sorry, just couldn't pass that one up.

Course, that's some former Illinois Central trackage there.

Not IC trackage, it was Milwaukee Road trackage, which became the Soo Line, which became Canadian Pacific, which sold it to Indiana Rail Road.

You're right! I was thinking about another part of the Indiana RR's trackage that has IC lineage. Thanks!
