August 18, 2012
Chris O'MalleyCentral Indiana’s rail terminal to the world is CSX Transportation’s Avon yard, in Hendricks County. But don’t
look for much in the way of rail shipments from here directly to the West Coast. The yard operates well below capacity. Meanwhile,
CSX has been investing hundreds of millions of dollars in infrastructure upgrades to terminals in Ohio and farther east.

MoreRising fuel costs may mean comeback for freight trains
June 9, 2008
Chris O'MalleySpiking diesel fuel prices have deflated trucking stocks and made road kill out of many a small motor carrier. It's sweet
irony for anyone who's worn a pinstriped cotton cap to work. The rising price of diesel is poised to invigorate a mode of
transportation that trucks nearly annihilated--the 40 freight railroads crisscrossing the state.

Cats out of the bag. The object of the game is to get acquired. That means the company has no idea how to grow beyond a certain point. Email is a 1990s technology. I have laughed at this company since day one. Such a small bit player. If it was anywhere but here, it wouldn't be newsworthy.
Esther, Indy has passed Chicago in the local government corruption arena. Don't downgrade us. We're No. 1 in the Midwest.
Does the buyer get to keep the recent Accu-Chek J.D. Power award? Be careful, those Swiss cannot be trusted. Last June they pimped Mayor Ballard and former Governor Daniels at a media op, announcing plans to invest "$300 million at its Indianapolis headquarters, creating up to 100 new jobs by 2017," only to turn around and close the Roche Nutley, NJ facility and eliminate 1000 jobs there later the same week. It seems that healthcare can be innovated only as long as money is to be made. Right now Roche seems to have big eyes for China: there are many Chinese in China and potential billions in Swiss francs! Since Roche is having difficulty with US insurance companies swallowing the bill for overpriced cancer drugs (with debatable efficacy) why not sell insurance to the Chinese and market the drugs to them there? There is a name for these sort of business practices however proper decorum precludes it use in this forum.
Same kind of Luddites who oppose I-69. Guessing their 501(c)(4) application probably sailed right through the IRS.
