Can an increase in freight traffic on the rail corridor be expected if the track is improved?
The fluctuations in the market demand for freight service by Wisconsin & Southern Railroad (WSOR) along the existing rail corridor are dependent on WSORs customers and are independent of developing high-speed passenger rail service along the same corridor. Economically, an increase in demand for freight service would be accommodated by adding additional cars to an existing train rather than operating more trains along the corridor. How will the proposed rail service affect existing freight rail schedules using the same tracks, both with the initial additional rail traffic as well as projected traffic in the future? Will it create additional late night/early morning runs? Wisconsin & Southern Railroad (WSOR) which operates in the corridor does not have any plans to change its operating hours in response to future passenger service. The operating hours of the existing freight rail service will not be affected by the addition of passenger service. Will there be a committee of stakeholders
