Actually it was a plot by Mr. Crane to make it profitable and then get his
boys in Norfolk back what they wanted in the first place ( their own rails
to NYC) without all of the heavy debt that went with it 23 years ago.
Remember they had it in Dereco, (EL, D&H) but didnn't want the debt burden
and didn't integrate it into their system. They got it now and may be
spending more money now than if they held onto it in th 60"s and rebuilt
it. Of course now it is leaner and the money losing branches are gone.
Just my .02 worth.
