It is due to the increased traffic, mostly crude oil but also general freight.<br /><br />I have heard of no talks of buyback but I doubt that J.D. Irving (NBSR's owner) would be interested.Canadian Train Geekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05525092107895665275noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18600515.post-60761352715745529412012-08-16T23:05:45.646-05:002012-08-16T23:05:45.646-05:00Are they leasing new engines due to increased frei...Are they leasing new engines due to increased freight traffic on the line or are they simply replacing / retiring older engines?<br /><br />If it is due to increasing traffic, what is driving this increase? Is it oil, paper, or just general freight? <br /><br />Also, as NBSR seems to be growing, are there any talks of a larger railroad buying them back (such as CN and NBEC)? It would be interesting to see CP return to the Maritimes!tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10678049966130259527noreply@blogger.com
