On a scale of 1-10, how impossible would it be (i don't care if it's 10, just asking) to re-route the Builder through Brainerd (St. Cloud-Brainerd/Baxter-Staples)? I know this would probably add 1 or 2 hours to the schedule as well as backtrack somewhat to the east. Also what is that line that splits off from the Staples Sub at Little Falls and follows Hwy. 371 to Brainerd? |

Both the Staples Sub and Wayzata Sub would have be out of commission at the same time, so I would say it's highly unlikely (9 or 10). |

it would be a 1 or next to never happening. I am pretty sure the tracks no longer go all the way to Baxter. I thought they were cut just north of Camp Ripley. |

9.95... I believe the Builder took the Brainerd Sub a few years ago, if I remember correctly they went through empty. |
