Re: Paper Railroads Group Information Thread
Who can help me?
I am looking at building some tracks in down town Detroit to go to Ford field and the Joe. I found a line owned my CN and wondered if anyone owns those tracks. I am looking at building sown the side of Gratiot Ave with a station a block from ford field and comerica park

Re: Paper Railroads Group Information Thread
I'm pretty sure CN still owns the tracks from Detroit-Toledo. The DR&EC would be willing to help fund for the station, assuming we also get to use it when our commuter system starts up.

Re: Paper Railroads Group Information Thread
CN owns everything in MI they origionally owned. While their tracks are generally off-limits in MI, if you only use a few miles that would be okay.
Re: Paper Railroads Group Information Thread
Ok apparently the GR&P owned the GTW. Now this would mean TSCR owns all GTW track...MQT3001 wrote:CN owns everything in MI they origionally owned. While their tracks are generally off-limits in MI, if you only use a few miles that would be okay.

Hmm, could we allow the GTW tracks to become CN again?

Re: Paper Railroads Group Information Thread
Okay, I found the map. This is the last map where the GR&P is found, and was created shortly before the mergers:

Re: Paper Railroads Group Information Thread
Well when atrain asked me to do heritage units for him he asked for GTW so that means he mustve owned GTW.

He would've claimed MQT because he ran over MQT tracksDT&I wrote:Well when atrain asked me to do heritage units for him he asked for GTW so that means he mustve owned GTW.
He claimed ownership rights to any company he owned anything of....GTW Holly Subdivision was apparently enough
Using that logic must own part of GTW too....I own the C&M & GRE....but I don't, because I don't own the rights..CN still does.
Atrain, it's okay, but generally unless you buy the company, you don't get the rights
