Now if yer talkin going north west towards Chi town, the line from Richmond west was sold to a short line RR (Buckingham something), wasnt suitable for long heavy fast trains. Next chance to go northwest ya gotta go south to southern Georgia.

Besides, Sluggo and I will like the increased traffic our way!

That's right. Bring that shit to me man as Pedro Cerano would say.
