I agree, I was also pointing out that at least in one instance we seem to have "grown" a route up from RJ to mainline. I realize these used to be mainline routes, all of them (for the most part) were mainline. Unfortunately, that ship has sailed due to lack of diligence and shortsightedness.
I was extremely upset when the initial two rounds of routes came out and there were only 7 mainline routes listed. I guess I'm looking for the "silver" lining. Seems to be strangely lead colored however - that won't hurt me will it?
