Here is my summary of Falls Valley Business closing this week of November 26th (Pages 1 and 2 of this thread) I see a need for other railroads to join this thread to bridge my traffic around the nation to those who are not located near my area. My interchanges are: All traffic to and from the west coast via Wheeling Wva All traffic to and from Great Lakes via Harrisburg PA (This includes all Canada Traffic by way of either Detroit MI or Buffalo NY All traffic to and from the south (Fla to Tx) via Manassas VA East coast ports and NE to Maine is via Frederick Md Sub that connects with the B&O There are some offers to each railroad involved in interchange with me. There are some offers being made to each railroad in interchange with me. I tried best to determine geographical location to enable interchange but need better information. I will consider new railroads and thier business as they come on line in this topic. If there is some way of keeping everyone straight, I have each account on a notepad file on my computer and so far I think I have everyone, if I forgot someone, let me know and we will get the business correct. Ok, My outbound means going TO YOUR railroad, my inbound means COMING FROM your railroad. Ok First off: GDRMCo Where are your railroad located? I need to find a Port ***** Fergie Where are your railroad located? I need to find a Port ***** sierrarr (Interchanges with me at Wheeling Wva) Need a connecting railroad to bridge this all across the USA? Inbound 8 loads produce One load Paint One load Clothing 5 Tank cars of Petrochemicals return loads Outbound? 5 8,000 gallon tank cars for loading I would like to offer you a variety of loads useful to your part of the USA. Either by bridge or direct shipping. ***** Ken (Interchanges with me on Frederick Md Sub) I see that you are located in Baltimore. Does this mean you are to my "East" and have access to shipping by Port? Will you consider Imports from Fergie and GDRMCo as Bridge traffic both ways? Do you have Spices either as a Mc Cormick supplier or import on your railroad? Do you have a source of sugar? I offer traffic to and from bay packing houses due to demand outstripping truck traffic. Are you able to accept the additional traffic? I dont know exactly how many cars yet but should by Monday night. Outbound I offer you 5 loads of Fire Brick per week. Can you use any of my generated commodities? Inbound Do you have? 4 Steel Coil 2 Slag 1 Tar 1 Benzoil ***** Noah Hofrichter (Interchanges with me at Harrisburg PA for great lakes) Inbound 2 Carloads week Gravel on gondolas Outbound 3 Carloads of Coal 2 Boxcars of paper (News print) ***** rttraincollector (Virginia? Interchanges with me at Manssas) Will you be willing to bridge my traffic to Georgia? It will include a special train with a military escort for a Armored Pullman on lease. Outbound 1 Car load each of Vodka and Gin 1 Carload each of Flour I can offer 2 Boxcars of Boxes to your specs. 2 carloads of Wax covered milk cartons Inbound Wants eggs Wants Cheese Wants Pies Wants bread Wants Cakes Asking two carloads of each (Specify reefer or Box etc so I can determine icing needs) ***** Bukwrm (Cinicinatti Interchanges with me at Wheeling) Outbound One Express Two LCL One load Seafood 4 Produce a week 2 Coal 2 chemical 2 steel coil 2 shipping consumeables to tug works in Boxcars Inbound I would like: 2 Shoes 2 pallets 2 can 2 biscuts Accepted 2 Pork Loads and 4 Beef Loads Accepted 4 Production machinery in flats or boxcars ***** Twocenterprises Georgia (Interchanges with me at Manassas Va) Thinking Georgia is one railroad away, who can bridge this gap? Outbound Two loads of empty glass bottles Two loads of Steel cans Inbound Wants 2 cotton loads Wants 4 coal loads Wants to lease Pullman, Own military will provide security with a special train. I figure that Gold is going to go somewhere and become useful.. Electronic parts? Coin? Hmm.. I gotta figure out who wants the resulting commodity. ***** Luct Canada (Interchanges with me at Harrisburg PA) Outbound 2 Carloads of Lumber 4 Carloads of Coal Wonders what traffic I can bring in from your railroad? ***** Inch 53 (Interchanges with me at Wheeling WVa) Inbound: 2 Carloads of Scrap 2 Carloads of Marine chargers in boxcars 2 Carloads of Lumber 1 Hopper Ag Lime Outbound: 2 carloads of electronics parts 2 Carloads of Pallets 2 Carloads of Bottled Rum 2 carloads of Coal 1 Hopper Milled corn 1 Mixed Load Liquor 1 Load brick Two Carloads of 3/4 inch white brick accepted ***** Masonjar (Interchanges with me at Harrisburg PA) Southern Ontario "Marlpost Sub" Outbound: Coal 2 carloads Week Ice One Carload Week Inbound: 4 Grain Loads Week What additional business can I offer? I see a potential for LCL and express to all parties... ************************************ ************************************ This closes Falls Valley Railroad's work for the pages 1, 2 of this thread. Any additional resulting business contracts will be processed this week for next week's traffic. Also: Interchange traffic is handled on a specific day of week.. example: Wheeling WVa is set out and ready by Midnight of Sunday of every week, expects to have inbounds by Noon Monday Harrisburg PA is set out and ready by Midnight Monday of every week, expects to have inbounds by Noon Tuesday Manassas Va is set out and ready by Midnight Tuesday of every week, Expects to have inbounds by Noon Wedensday Frederick Md Sub is serviced every day with set outs by Midnight and expects inbounds by Noon following day. Confused yet??? Once I get skill in managing virtual trains I will be staggering interchanges with own trains daily.. but first things first.... Please post any corrections this upcoming week in following pages so I may address them on a case by case basis. I think and HOPE my format is acceptable to all... it is very difficult to produce a traffic report in this particular situation but can learn if others have a better method.
