    Does anyone have a specific date for when Kyle started operating the former RI lines in Kansas-Colorado?

    RailAmerica, the parent company has a colorful website with some information about when THEY took over some lines, but not specifically Kyle. http://www.railamerica.com/history.htm

    Harold-

    I believe Kyle does not show on that site, as they were owned by another company RA acquired. Can't think of who it was right now.

    I did accidently find an alleged year for startup. On a UP page. It said 1982. I didn't think it was that late. Thought it was in late 1980, or early 1981. Guess my memory is off!

    Edit: Just remembered why. The first operator, post- RI, was the Cadillac & Lake City. Kyle took over from them.

    :D
