Hunter - When we met in January of 2000, you were just a 6 week old pup who walked his way into this heart of mine as the only runt in the litter who would come over to me. And today, I sit here and tell you I am sorry we had to put you down. It was the best thing for you and also the right thing to do. May you now rest in peace and comfort. Love, Dad. 8 June 2010
I love you and miss you Mom. Say hi to everyone up there for me. Rest in peace and comfort. Love, John. 29 March 2017

They think so small, they use small words. 1,141 posts Posted by twcenterprises on Sunday, December 18, 2005 11:12 PM May I have your attention please! TWCEnterprises is pleased to announce that we are serving new online customers as follows: Peachtree Doors and Windows Mount Vernon Mills Allied Foam Leon Farmer Beverage Co. (Beer distributor) Scheiber (Kraft food contractor) Concept Packaging (box, pallet and crate distributor) Tatsumi Intermodal and Imports (Kubota Contractor (overseas parts)) Amerigas (propane distributor) These customers are actually on the Southern line, but we have had trackage rights past these customers to our interchange point. We have entered into a customer service agreement along with the Southern, and so, without further ado, will be handling loads as follows (inbound unless otherwise specified): 1/week: Wood mouldings and trim (Peachtree) 1/week Aluminum extrusions (Peachtree) 1/week Plastic extrusions, vinyl (Peachtree) 2/week Glass, sheets (Peachtree) 5/week cars finished doors and windows (outbound Peachtree) 5/day Baled wool (Mount Vernon Mills aka MVM) 5/day Baled cotton (MVM) 1/week Dye (MVM) 5/day Fabric and textiles, raw (outbound MVM) 5/day Textile products, finished goods(consumer products) (outbound MVM) 2/week Plastic Pellets, boxcar or covered hopper (Allied Foam) 5/week Foam insulation (outbound Allied) 5/day Beer (Leon Farmer) 2/week Cardboard boxes (Concept) 2/week Pallets (Concept) 2/week Crate assemblies (Concept) 1/week Wood boards (Concept R&D purposes) 5/week Propane (Amerigas) 5/day Overseas Containers (from Japan, Kubota Parts engines, transmissions, etc.) (Tatsumi) 5/day Overseas Containers (finished Kubota tractors or empty racks) (outbound Tatsumi) 5/week Refrigerated Cars (cheese, sour cream, etc.) (outbound Scheiber) FYI: Effective Immediately, all inbound crate loads to Kubota should be sent to Concept Packaging for warehousing as per Kubota's request. All tire loads should go directly to Kubota. All other inbound parts loads should be sent to Tatsumi. Outbound loads from Tatsumi will be destined for overseas customers, all domestic shipments will come directly from Kubota. Traffic for Mount Vernon Mills (except for the dye) is maximum capacity, not a daily requirement, and will be unloaded/reloaded on a 1-for-1 basis. Traffic for Amerigas will vary depending on local temperatures, colder weather will require more inbound shipments. Containers for Tatsumi will be unloaded/reloaded on a 1-for-1 basis. Containers will be inbound from either Japan (40' containers with engines, transmissions, axles, etc.), Spain (20' containers with hydraulic cylinders), or Italy (40' containers with various other components). Outbound containers will be either empty racks for Japan, or finished tractors headed worldwide. All this will be in addition to our regular existing traffic. All Kubota loads should be interchanged as normal, we just need the waybills marked appropriately so we can switch the cars to the proper customers. Please remember inbound containers/trailers for Kubota will be reloaded outbound. Containers are preferred so they can ship overseas.

I hope that others may be able to pick up the slack. Let me know if you want me to generate this traffic as my "Outbound" asap.

TWCEnterprises is pleased to announce that we are serving new online customers as follows: Peachtree Doors and Windows Mount Vernon Mills Allied Foam Leon Farmer Beverage Co. (Beer distributor) Scheiber (Kraft food contractor) Concept Packaging (box, pallet and crate distributor) Tatsumi Intermodal and Imports (Kubota Contractor (overseas parts)) Amerigas (propane distributor) These customers are actually on the Southern line, but we have had trackage rights past these customers to our interchange point. We have entered into a customer service agreement along with the Southern, and so, without further ado, will be handling loads as follows (inbound unless otherwise specified): 1/week: Wood mouldings and trim (Peachtree) 1/week Aluminum extrusions (Peachtree) 1/week Plastic extrusions, vinyl (Peachtree) 2/week Glass, sheets (Peachtree) 5/week cars finished doors and windows (outbound Peachtree) 5/day Baled wool (Mount Vernon Mills aka MVM) 5/day Baled cotton (MVM) 1/week Dye (MVM) 5/day Fabric and textiles, raw (outbound MVM) 5/day Textile products, finished goods(consumer products) (outbound MVM) 2/week Plastic Pellets, boxcar or covered hopper (Allied Foam) 5/week Foam insulation (outbound Allied) 5/day Beer (Leon Farmer) 2/week Cardboard boxes (Concept) 2/week Pallets (Concept) 2/week Crate assemblies (Concept) 1/week Wood boards (Concept R&D purposes) 5/week Propane (Amerigas) 5/day Overseas Containers (from Japan, Kubota Parts engines, transmissions, etc.) (Tatsumi) 5/day Overseas Containers (finished Kubota tractors or empty racks) (outbound Tatsumi) 5/week Refrigerated Cars (cheese, sour cream, etc.) (outbound Scheiber) FYI: Effective Immediately, all inbound crate loads to Kubota should be sent to Concept Packaging for warehousing as per Kubota's request. All tire loads should go directly to Kubota. All other inbound parts loads should be sent to Tatsumi. Outbound loads from Tatsumi will be destined for overseas customers, all domestic shipments will come directly from Kubota. Traffic for Mount Vernon Mills (except for the dye) is maximum capacity, not a daily requirement, and will be unloaded/reloaded on a 1-for-1 basis. Traffic for Amerigas will vary depending on local temperatures, colder weather will require more inbound shipments. Containers for Tatsumi will be unloaded/reloaded on a 1-for-1 basis. Containers will be inbound from either Japan (40' containers with engines, transmissions, axles, etc.), Spain (20' containers with hydraulic cylinders), or Italy (40' containers with various other components). Outbound containers will be either empty racks for Japan, or finished tractors headed worldwide. All this will be in addition to our regular existing traffic. All Kubota loads should be interchanged as normal, we just need the waybills marked appropriately so we can switch the cars to the proper customers. Please remember inbound containers/trailers for Kubota will be reloaded outbound. Containers are preferred so they can ship overseas.

I think and HOPE my format is acceptable to all... it is very difficult to produce a traffic report in this particular situation but can learn if others have a better method.

Just a quick note to all before heading off to the CS: Needed - 10,000 rail ties - No rush as project will be slow moving for the next 2 weeks thanks to the holidays and vacations. Fergie - Need me to make any 'special' extra runs for you this week? If so, need to know by tomorrow afternoon so I can place crews 'on call' if needed. JP
