Sure. how about some scrap...

...or copper scrap...

...or perhaps a load of poles...

...or perhaps some lumber...

...and of course, even "empty" gondolas are seldom truly empty...

Please show any diesel switcher.

(We did not have that rule in September.)

The rule was always there, I simply copy>pasted from an earlier month. Maybe it got lost. Like if a 25 MPH speed sign gets knocked over and you cant read it, the speed limit on the street is still 25 MPH. Tell it to the judge.

If someone would care to, please write up the rules again so we can have them in effect. Do the rules need to be posted in a sticky? Maybe Steven can arrange that.

BigDaddy
Heavyweather you are supposed to say what you want to see.

 

HeavyFeather
Please show me your SP switching locomotives   

 

Alas, I don't have any S.P. switchers, though.

In recent months the show me thread has included a rule which states the previous request is still in effect if the most recent contributor does not make a new request. 

This rule should eliminate delays , and I suggest we unclude it again this month. 

(We did not have that rule in September.)
