Yes, they still are running. But taking two days to go 50 miles is pretty poor. Dumping a car just about every turn is pretty poor. When Frontier took over Lake County Ry, the track was in good shape, it had a 25 mph speed limit and track work was done on a regular basis. Right now it is listed as 10 mph and that is optimistic. They operate and do the absolute minimum maintenance. Sucking out every cent and leaving a junk pile is their business plan. Lake County had 6-8 people on the payroll either running trains or maintaining the track. Frontier has at best two operating and on occasion they hire more to clean up all the derailments. I am hoping when their contract runs out Lake County will take control again and operate it like it used to be.
