Many good points on both sides have been shared. It's my understanding that the WI&M branch is now shut down due to track conditions and Bennett Lumber is trucking to the mill at the Port of Wilma---so the Princeton Mill now has it's access to both BNSF and UP. (At a price) Don't know if the WI&M will be back or not. I doubt Bennett is pleased as they installed a new long loading spur at the mill last year.
