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!

Let's ramp up your business then shall we?

Target loads on the petro chemical tankers will increase from current 5 tank cars to 20 if you have the capacity. The loads will stay the same but increase as you are able to ship em. I hope eventually we will see the 20 car tanker target.

I'll take the following:

One load leather
One load Soap
One load of TNT
One load of Gunpowder
One Load of Smokeless powder
One load stain

I can supply you with:

One load of Cloth texiles.
One load Saltpeter

I see that you are already shipping Produce of all kinds and clothing (Paint too) I would like you to double the Produce to 16 Reefers if you can.

I have a list of outbound traffic from my railroad in last sunday's traffic report, would you want any of these loads sent to you?

For convience the list has been reproduced here below:

10 Loads Coal
8 Express LCL Reefers
8 LCL Boxcars
6 Glass Bottles
6 Glass containers
6 Flat loads of granite (Ready for further cutting)
6 Flat loads of Marble (Ready for further cutting)
18 Hoppers of Quarry tailings (Waste dirt and stone etc)
20 Loads of seafood (All kinds)
12 Loads of Tobacco
9 Loads each Cider, Apples, Pears, wool, Mulch and hay.
10 Loads aluminum coil.. suitable for brewery cans etc...
10 Loads of finished steel coil ready to be made into something.
12 Gondola loads of Aluminum Ingots that are really big
16 Foundry items ranging from engine blocks for autos to steel structural parts.
8 Loads of Charcoal in bags by boxcar
20 Loads of regular brick
10 Loadas firebrick
10 Loads of Processed milk for further packing into boxes, bottle etc

**NOTE.. this list is considered "Decaying" as it is edited upon each agreed and accepted freight contracts.

Counter Weight, would you please send me one load of Cider, one load of mulch, one load of hay, and 1 load of both apples and pears (1/2 each, please) I can take the other load of of you in a few days, if you'd like, and you wouldn't mind me taking subdivided loads)

Sierrarr, I am going to need 5 loads of gasoline!
I can provide you with another load of cloth, now seeing that counterweight already filled that load[:D]

BMTRAINS

Your interchange traffic will either go via Ken's connection for him to bridge traffic to me or... direct to Harrisburg PA where I can get to it.

I would like to start off by welcoming you to this thread and will ask to take some of your loads and offer you loads you expressed a need for.

Sunday night Falls Valley Railroad posts a report reflecting current traffic activity and it seems to help with all the others to coordinate the traffic of thier own and make corrections etc.

Without further ado:

Rutland Paxton & Spencer gets:

Looks like my lumber production is maxed out at this time.
All 6 of my Flatcar Granite loads. (6 more loads of Marble is offered from our small quarry which represents almost 4 weeks production at 2 loads a week)
I can only give you two loads of excess paper.

Cherry Valley gets:

More Granite? hmm.. Give me time to arrange extra workers and additional shifts at the quarry. Maybe next week I can stabilize production at about 10 loads weekly total but not much more.
I can give you one load of Aluminum either in Ingot, Billet or Plate (Coil too if you want)
Will my small eastern produce suffice? Or do you desire the GOOD california and overseas produce?

Gulf Delta & Mauridian

I cannot offer much in way of anything. In fact, I do have alot of ...cattle production on the dairy farm but no way to convert it to Fertilizer as I dont know how that is done.

Finally I would like to offer you canstock, seals and fittings for your canning works in Rutland. (Glass canning too if desired) I can also supply you with Pallets and Banding for your finished loads.

And... would you have the ability to can Applesauce? I could ship you apples for canning at your works.

What do you think?

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.

Afternoon Gents!
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.

I think I got everyone's traffic updated and corrected.

There is alot of traffic from some that have not been finalized or questions settled they are in the latest sunday evening report as of tonight.

I am ready for new traffic, updated traffic and changes to traffic for this week to Christmas. It seems the holiday demands has really increased the tonnage on my rails and am adding some new power soon.

So far I think this thread is actually working, but noticed that some of us has been "Silent"... I just hope that everyone is doing well this weekend.

All of my interchanges will see daily service from now on. Will edit the schedule to reflect.

Rutland Paxton & Spencers locomotive #1180 (a doodlebug used in mixed train service
Has derailed south of Rutland Mass

A washout along the Quinaboag River turned the line into oblivion

As the locomotive rounded the curve out of the Roonsic forest it encountered the line

The doodlebug fell off and into the river

Currrently crews are using a Crane borrowed from Guilford Rail to bing the locomotive back onto trax

Service shall be upheld for at the very most a week

1180 there only locomotive hauled the local freights
without her no freight can come through

RP&S is trying to work out a deal with guilford for a GP40 although commuters unfortunately will possibly lose service

"1180 is a classic car, Wwe need her and in no way are we to let her go"

Alex, did the doodlebug derail and you are using the crane again to clean the mess? Got any pics?[:D][:D]

I will send up a Geep 38, namely unit 202, from MP 25-31, it will be there by morning.

RDC unit 6301 is also available to help with the commuter service

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 can generate the following immediately:

1/week: Wood mouldings and trim (Peachtree)
1/week Aluminum extrusions (Peachtree)
2/week Glass, sheets (Peachtree)
2/week Pallets (Concept)
2/week Crate assemblies (Concept)
1/week Wood boards (Concept R&D purposes)
1/day Baled wool (Mount Vernon Mills aka MVM)

Please note that I only can give one wool per day as we have small farms with a few sheep. 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.
