@sebby_stamour Canadian National vs Boston & Maine. Would be interesting if this happened if they could work out a connection with Conway Scenic in Berlin…

Train Beer Friday: Rail Spike IPA by @RustyRailBrewCo in Mifflinburg, PA. This hop bouquet is produced just steps away from the former Pennsy subsidiary Lewisburg and Tyrone Railroad in Buffalo Valley not far from the Susquehanna River. The RR is now the Buffalo Valley Trail.

Historic Cotton Belt map (officially, the Saint Louis Southwestern Railway, controlled by Southern Pacific after 1932). DART bought 54 miles for what became TEXRail & Silver Line in 1990 (maps for both also below), prior to SP's merger with Union Pacific.
