thank you very much. Apparently there is supposed to be a coaling tower on the Maynard Branch, so anyone who could provide me with 2 loads of coal, that'd be great.

For convience the list has been reproduced here below:

10 Loads Coal
8 Express LCL Reefers
8 LCL Boxcars

Ok guys -
sNoah - Thanks for the ballast. Once I get that all put into place, I'll let you know if and how much more I need.
Sierrarr - Got the goods. Again, like I told sNoah - I'll let you know if I need more and how much once I'm done with this shipment.
Everyone else - All I'm asking is for a 'heads-up' on any bridge traffic for Fergie. With the new construction in the yard, and the upcoming holidays and forecasted vacations in conjunction with aforementioned holidays, my work crews will be on minimal manning till after the 1st.

Enjoy the weekend!

I edited this post after work today to reflect:

I will take 4 crude oil for use in road building

Also on the two each of Gas, Desiel and Heating oil sounds very good to me.

I cannot think of anything to load back to you in these tankers.

Do you require anything else before I put this into the weekly traffic?

Yoshi, The farmers are willing to subdivide the Soybeans, and another farmer stepped up with two car loads of extra corn. So can ship you a one time Shipment of 2 loads corn and 2 loads Soybeans. It will be on the interchange track today sometime, probably near the end of the day.

CW, thank you for the Foundry Parts, and the first shipment of five TOFC loads will arrive late this week. You also have a one time shipment of 5 cars of Corn comming, to be set out this afternoon on the interchange track.

You have the team track loads.
Due to the extra demands on manufactoring, I would like to get your 3 loads a week if possible.

Inch53

Thanks!

twcenterprises

Your traffic is accepted.
Re: your outbound, Your adjustments to Kubota has been accepted
I dont know what happened to the coal... I have taken them off the list effective this post until I can figure out what to do with the coal cars. (30 right?)
All other traffic posts by you have been accepted.

Regarding antique vehicles.. I will like 4 loads in double door box a week; if possible.. if not, start at one and ramp up as you can.

nharrison21

10 Loads of road salt a week

Noah Hofrichter

Your traffic has been accepted
Your shipment of 5 TOFC has been accepted, I will return them with steel foundry parts.

I will like to take 5 of your corn, I dont need the soybeans at moment.

I think this is it for the time being. Let me know what other business I can fill for you out of my current Sunday's load offerings. I am piling up to "here" with food products including reefer traffic for meat, seafood and ice as well as general grocery and dry goods (Toilet papers, medicines etc)

Here is the ARK’s traffic report for the week(a few days late, but hey....)

Counter Weight

Gravel out 2 gondola loads a week
Newsprint in 2 boxcar loads a week

Notes: Traffic Report looks good for me. Also, I can ship you 5 TOFC cars with Truck and small mower seats per week, from the area up here. Can you except? And then can you return those 5 TOFC cars a week with foundry items, specifically steel structural parts?


Fergie Via Paul in Duluth

Coal in 2 hopper loads a week

Notes for Fergie: The ARK can spare about ten regular boxcars, and about 20 insulated Boxcars(RBL's). Would you be interested?

Inch

Plastic Pellets in 2 covered hopper loads a week

Brad (twenterprises)

Pullp Wood in 3 boxcar loads a week

Notes: Can I get two coal loads a week in Hoppers from you Brad? I can return gravel/ballast in them if needed. Also, there is a Seat company that in Reedsburg that recently signed a Deal with Kubota tractors to supply seats for their tractors. The company is looking at shipping the seats in on TOFC cars, rather than in trucks, for cost reasons. Can we get your cooperation in sending 2 TOFC cars of seats a week down there?

New ARK traffic

The grain season now being over, several farmers have gotten together and have decided to sell their share of corn and soybeans harvested this fall and stored at the Co-op in Appleton by rail. Is anyone interested in 5 cars of Corn or Soybeans, for a total of 10 cars? The shipment is splitable if you want just 5 cars of corn or just 5 cars of Soybeans. Anyone interest, please let me know.

Can you use some Kubota tractors? They have about 50 of my boxcars tied up. If you can use them, then I'll send them on. I'l also send about another 50 emptys unless we can find something else to send you.

CW

How about 1 load per week antique autos in a Doubledeck 50' boxcar? I think we can load 6 autos in it.

I copy all.

Will make the corrections as needed. Will address the new requests after work today.

twcenterprises, sorry for the o, I indeed copied and pasted my way thru the stack of traffic forms on my computer. I'll make the corrections so it wont plaque me again. Regarding your auto request, I think High cube is too big, I would be happy to use double door auto box and will examine the coal problem, I will find something else to ship back.

RE: Outbound freight

Add 6 boxcars for Kubota as follows: 1 car of tire and rim assemblies, ready to mount on tractors, 2 cars pallet/crate assemblies, and 3 cars forgings, stampings, welded parts, hydraulic cylinders, hoses, radiators, etc., etc., etc. Kubota is also willing to take 3 tankers per week, 1 with diesel fuel, 1 with gasoline, and 1 with motor oil.

Don't know why I'm getting coal returned. I ship it out, maybe you can return bauxite, iron or silver ore?

Otherwise, outbound traffic should be:

Two loads of empty glass bottles
Two loads of Steel cans
Spools in boxcar
Spools in Gondola
Boxcar telephone pole fittings
One return load of telephone poles in gon.
6 boxcars Kubota Parts
6 hoppers loaded with ???

BTW, I see you accept used antique cars, why am I not shipping you any? Oh, wait, you can't clear high-cube cars on your line. Well, our shipper is willing to load whatever kind of car is needed to move the traffic, we'll see if he can load 50' doubledeck auto-boxcars.

Please note the correct spelling is twcenterprises (no "o"). You had this corrected, but I'm guessing you "copied and pasted" old posts and simply forgot the correct the spelling.
