Sure thing, but we're going to have to find someone who can get it from our connection with the Maine Central at Burnham Junction, ME. to Sacramento.

Can anyone help us here?

We are now also a freight broker for Southern, having access to virtually their entire customer base for inbound and outbound loads.

We are in the negotiation process of acquiring the Lula, GA, to Macon, GA branch, serving several medium size cities and several major industries online, including 3 feed mills, a Toyota Auto distributor, a wire factory, a seed dealer, a concrete pipe plant, and quite a number of others. We also plan to upgrade the line and have it available as a bridge line to bypass Atlanta, hopefully with regular traffic contracts to go with it.

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The old traffic patterns that were in effect before Christmas Day 2005 is no longer in effect.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

DONE!!! How much you want? We're bursting at the seams! Good day fishing today!

[railroadyoshi]

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

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

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

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

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.

southwest

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.

Dave

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?

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?

I believe I'd like for them to be loaded to my SD35M...if that's not a problem with you.

[railroadyoshi]

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?

[ModelTrainman]

OK, can you send me some autoracks of sports cars?

[railroadyoshi]

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.

Yoshi
RP&S/CHV will ship you 8 car loads of pulpwood
no need for power We have the newly aquired ex NH RS3 559 and MEC 313 if needed

[ModelTrainman]

I can do that, when do you want them? Can you get them from Chicago?

[railroadyoshi]

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

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.

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.

Yoshi want do you want from me? I can give gravel, logs passengers, baggage, cloaks.......bags take your pick and I'll ship it from Sacramento.....when do you want it? My road crews will top off your Aurora Switcher for free. Where do I send your goods?
