Model Trainman, absolutely. Where is your railroad located? We can have it to East Deerfield by 8:30 AM on train GM2. From there, it is on PAR/GRS.

Matt, due to tight conditions at Aurora and the limited capacity of the plant, we are requesting 12 car trains.


Matt, YFRS will also be requesting 50 cars of Ballast over the next month. Can this be filled?


YFRS is looking for a supplier of about 15 cars of rail over the next month.

JTRWY can supply the coal. We will work out the ballast deal when the time comes.

The coal train will have a pair of GP38's at the point. What times of the day will these trains need to arrive?

Sincerely,
Matt

Oh boy, I believe I have made a mistake. Can JTRWY provide 4 of these trains daily?

If possible, these trains would be best to arrive at Aurora at 7:15AM, 12:00PM, 1:15 PM, and 6:00PM, and about a half-hour earlier than the above times at East Deerfield.

How many back hours does YFRS need to book for you for whatever amount of services you provide?

If you only need to send one locomotive, Aurora is equipped with fueling and turning facilities.

NOTICE: To the YFRS.....RESPONSE REQUESTED


The JTRWY can provide your coal for however long you need it. We have a local flood-loader that only the JTRWY services. They have an almost-unending supply of coal. We have a fleet of nearly 300 coal hoppers, due to a previous deal with a shortline in Texas. We don't use but five cars daily in the Jamestown area, and, generally, we use the same five cars, with an extra five, just in case. We can send an SD35M daily with the coal trains. This should be enough power.

About the ballast train: Your request can be filled. Our leased CSX AC4400CW can power this train.

What RR's do you connect with at your location? If you connect with CSX, then I can arrange to have my crew deliver the locomotive back to CSX. Our lease is up soon. If not, I will arrange for it to be delivered at Southside Yard.

Model Trainman, the GD would be happy to send you whatever you need. What is it you specifically want? The GD will ship anywhere anytime. Remember, We're not modern, but we're progressive.

American COnsolidated Shortlines Is also looking for Companys willig to sell

I think that might be a doable thing. The trawlers are really hauling it in this summer so far. Now, with the new rope to fix the nets, it should pick up a bit. Any particular seafood you're after? Got lots of lobster, crab, shrimp, clams, and assorted fish.

We have some excess stores at the Buckland, MA Elevator, and can ramp up production to meet your 20 car needs. The train will depart YFRS' Aurora Sub Interchange at East Deerfield, MA onto PAR(GRS), and should arrive in Maine by afternoon

Funny thing about milk cows,....they're constantly hungry! Right now in the summer time we use a bit less grain as the fields have grass. We could probably go with 9 or 10 carloads weekly and then in winter bump that up to 20 or so. What do ya say?

Pcarrel, that works great with me. What day would you like deliveries to begin?

Matt, we connect with PAR/GRS at East Deerfield, MA, but have run-through agreements set up with PAR/GRS, NECR, and CSX, so we can directly interchange with CSX.

I'll take the about 5 cars of milk and 3 cars of blueberries come Monday morning.
Will this work?

YFRS SN2500E 2205 can depart Aurora Monday morning with train E1 loaded with your grain, and can pick up the milk and blueberries.

I can scramble to get the extra car of blueberries. The milk is no problem. Thanks for the grain!

ModelTrainman, I'll have your baked goods on GM6 to Selkirk by way of East Deerfield departing at 2:15PM. Aurora Switcher is making up GM6 right now. From there, i'll expect it to be a few days before the cargo arrives in Sacremento.

Pcarrel, thanks!

Matt, saw the coal coming in this morning from my office. That is some good looking coal! We'll make sure your SD35M topped off before she departs Aurora at 7:15 with CO8.

Wow! ***, YFRS is happy to provide additional power if necessary. The people in Shelburne Falls are beginning to get worried about the dam.

Matt, would you like daily deliveries of 3 or so automobile cars?

ModelTrainman, if you could send a 3 loads of logs our way, that'd be great.
Our units (I believe today it will be YFRS GP7 1555) will terminate at Chicago, so you won't need to top us off, but thanks. From there, the loads will not be in our hands.

I can do that, or I can load them onto a General Manifest. Because of the way cars are handled at Aurora, sending them via a GM Train may be faster.
What's your pick?

ModelTrainman, I can pick 'em up from Chicago. If you can have them there tomorrow afternoon, that'd be great.

BSRR,
Please send only the 8 carloads, as Goose Springs Paper Plant is not equipped with LCL facilities.

You may route your train directly to Goose Springs, instead of the standard procedure to run up to Aurora and transfer to a local.

Thanks.

Yes, I can. Do you want this to be a one time delivery or an ongoing contract?
How many cars would you like? I can load 3 cars of sport cars per day.

I can have them out of Aurora tonight at 8:30PM on GM8. Your Baked foods are at East Deerfield right now. I can take your autoracks and baked goods and set up a special train to Sacremento. Will this work?

The GD has Loaded12 more stock cars of all American beef shipping from M. Egar Live Stock Co., two boxcars of whiskey from the Dublin Bottling Works, 40,000 gallons of crude oil from Flectcher Family Inc. all ready to depart the Frisco yard for Great Divide. Do I have any takers?

Additionally the GD line requires all the pipe, pumps, drills, and bits we can handle for the oil fields just discovered outside the town of Chico.

Model Trainman, where are we shipping to? The train has already left Frisco enroute to Great Divide. From there we can send it East to Interchange with the C&NW or Southwest to interchange with the Western Pacific.
