We are receiving a shipment of pipe tonight. It should be twenty 60' bulkhead flatcars worth. It is up for grabs. Would you like it?

[Anonymous]

Matt I'll take all you got. Fletcher Family Inc. owns the oil field, and they want to drill 40 wells.

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.

Dave

southwest

Alright. Since we don't directly ship to the west, by which railroad could I ship this?

Model Trainman, as soon as the train reaches Great Divide it will be routed west to our connection with the WP.

Matt if you can get it to Chicago, the CB&Q is the road that we do the most interchanging with in the East. We also do some limited interchanging with the C&NW.

That will be easy enough. Expect it to arrive via CB&Q by Monday evening.

Matt, thanks for the pipe, I'll be looking for it Monday. Let me know if you need oil, as soon as those wells are drilled, we'll be pumping out more than we can ship. GATX is already starting to send tankers our way, and our yards are filling up fast. We also have plenty of beef, apples, and scrap.

Dave

[railroadyoshi]

Matt, we can surely send your cargo with the SD35M.

ModelTrainman, GM8 will be departing in a few minutes with your cargo.

The Falls Valley Railroad is not operating at this time.

There has been a large amount of changes to the line and new construction is expected to begin shortly.

Later in the month I will have a new traffic list and routing set up.

From Ohio, Western PA and all points east and North east centered around Hagerstown Md, Helpers are ready 24/7 There are three helper crews on Summit (One for each shift) until further notice.

Traffic from Southern points to the Northeast will have to be routed thru other railroads.

The old traffic patterns that were in effect before Christmas Day 2005 is no longer in effect.

Good luck to everyone, will be ready to accept inbounds and have outbounds soon as I fini***he reorganization.

This is the last town on the J line that has industries..I am still working on the Columbus to Parkersburg Industries..

The CDBI/C&HV distribution center is a modern day short line term for freight house.I got the idea from R.J.Corman that operates such facilities..The idea behind that is to give off rail customers rail service.This seems to be working quiet well for R.J.Corman on his Western Ohio Lines at ST.Mary Ohio..I will add new customers to the distribution center as they come on line..

Bay State Railroad COrporation and affiliates can most certainly ship your cars to Selkirk.
We will pick up the cars around 10am on NMWW-4 where it will be transferred to WWED and then  on train EDSE to selkirk

your other option would be to route your train on EDNA where your cars will be transferred to NA-2 to the D&O Mainline at Eagle Bridge NY where they will be routed south to Binghamton and then over former EL tracks west

I have one loaded flat (a restored Hacker Craft boat) that needs to get to Charlotte, NC.  Also need 2 loads of rough cut mahogany lumber.  Customer would prefer box car loading.  Any help?

[twcenterprises]

Figured I'd try to revive this thread.  Picking up where we left off.............

Just over a year ago, we dealt with nharrison21 on the following:

1 44 tonner refurbish

2 RS3 refurbish

6 Various F unit purchase

1 Caboose upgrade (install armor for guard service)

We have received these all as expected and are pleased with the results, with the F units arriving in various states of disrepair (as anticipated).  The last of the F's have been refurbished by our own crews, and have just been inaugurated for their return to service.  One has been thoroughly cannibalized for parts (the remaining hulk can be seen on our AIP (Abandoned In Place) track, adjacent to our shop.)  Photos to follow!

Brad

[twcenterprises]

Finally!  Photos are here.  Sorry some are a bit blurry, someboby doesn't have such steady hands.

6 F units pose for a pic along with a pair of RS3's  The F's are recently shopped and are being inspected, after which they will be inaugurated for return to service.  The RS3's hang onto a caboose and are awaiting their next assignment.  The steamer is a 2-10-2, and is out of service.

We were pleased with the performance of the units so far, and look forward to doing business again.
