| Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes that you can do these things. Among them are a few Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or businessman from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid.” - President Dwight D. Eisenhower, - 1952 in a Letter to his brother - |

| FRA issues Safety Advisory 2012-02 regarding restricted speed CLEVELAND, May 9, News Flash for the BLE&T--The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) published Safety Advisory 2012-02 on April 25 to remind railroads and their employees of the importance of complying with restricted speed operating rules.

| Canadian National may reopen Wisconsin branch line LADYSMITH, Wi., May 15, from Trains Magazine News Wire--Canadian National will likely reopen its 44-mile branch line from Ladysmith to Poskin, Wis., which has been dormant for several years. According to a CN operating bulletin taking effect May 14, the railroad is reestablishing the Barron Subdivision, connecting with the Superior Subdivision at Ladysmith. The bulletin says at present the main track is out of service west of milepost 129.0 at Ladysmith, and has a maximum speed of 10 mph. The line is part of Soo Line’s original route from Minneapolis to Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., which CN inherited with its 2001 purchase of Wisconsin Central. CN’s Barron Subdivision was shut down shortly after the CN purchase, CN would reopen the line because of booming frac sand business. The sand is in high demand for oil and gas exploration in three major U.S. areas, including the “Bakken Formation” in North Dakota and Montana, and other areas in Texas and Pennsylvania. Superior Silica Sands is planning to build a new sand plant near Poskin, Wis., on the CN line. Another company, Canadian Sand and Proppant, has already broken ground for a new frac sand mine at a nearly 200-acre tract in the town of Sumner, not far from CN’s tracks at Canton, Wis. |
