now, just a quick thought, but with the HUGE success of cash for clunkers, wouldn't that bring in revenue. just take a moment to think about it, auto dealers with full lots have to get more stock in to meet up with demand, meanign the EB&S would have to bring in more carloads to the facility. i'm only saying this looking back on cash for clunkers, seeing the EB&S is tied with the auto industry, due to it's main comodity is automobiles, much how hopps and coal were the main traffic of the Pittsburg, Shawmut, and Northern Railroad in the early 20th century

I recall a while back some residents were complaining
that autoracks parked on the sidings were preventing them from crossing the tracks to access a local pond for fishing, as well as CSX trains that were passing blowing horns, disturbing people.
