Attention:

YFRS has decided to extend the Maynard Branch from its current end in Marlboro, MA to a heavy traffic source called Hillside Junction. This is beyond the YFRS/B&M Railshare agreement and B&M does not hold trackage rights from Marlboro to HJ.

Traffic will now be as follows:

The MP 25-31 will no longer accept refined feed. We now require 3 cars of grain daily. We will produce 2 cars daily of feed for interchange (the other car going to Erickson Grain)

MP 25-31 will now produce 3 cars daily of coal.

MP 25-31 now requires 6 cars of gasoline daily.

MP 25-31 requires 2 loads daily of regular sheet metal. We will produce 2 cars of Manufactured Metal Goods.

MP 25-31 will require 5 loads daily of general goods.

MP 25-31 requires one load of automobiles weekly.

MP 25-31 will require 2 loads of lumber daily.

MP 25-31 will require 3 loads of produce daily.

Thank you,

Yoshi

TO: ALL

All regular (permanent) interchange traffic has been set out on the interchange track.

We have received our 44 tonner in excellent condition, and are pleased with the repair work thus far. We will be using it on our mining branch from now until out RS3's are back for weight reasons. If it performs up to expectations (and we see no reason why it shouldn't) then we will be happy to give positive feedback on your services.

LS&I, SD arrived Green Bay last night, but the crew didn't want to take such a big unit down the Sub without actually talking to the higher-ups, since these locomotives are so unusual around here, and I wasn't avalible, being Christmas and all. But, the Locomotive will be picked up first thing Monday morning and should be in Horicon before dark. Expected shipment out of the Paint shop is Wednesday.

Hey guys.
With the recent orders that GDRMB has been getting we need to be able to ship these units as fast as possible to clear up space at the GDRMB plant. All shipments will arrive in San Fransisco for delivery.
1. The new Freightliner UK units will need to be transfered to Norfolk for shipping to the UK once they arrive in San Francisco. The main thing about this run is that they will need to be carried on flat cars as they must arrive in mint condition to their destination seeing as though this is a new market for us and we want to make a good impression.
Delivery date: Jan 26th 2006
2. We have just recieved an order from Trans Pacific Freight Services for 20 new GT60AC's. These units can be run dead in consist to their destination of Detroit.
Delivery date: Feb 10th 2006
3. We have a demo set heading for America consisting of GT46's: AC and DC versions, GT44's: AC and DC versions, and GT60's: AC and DC versions. We will be leasing these units to UP, BNSF, NS and KCS. We will need a RR to get these units to Chicago for the RR's they will be demo-ing on to pick up.

ALL:

Effective Immediately, and until 12:01 AM, 26 DEC 2005, all traffic on the Gainesville Northwestern will be suspended for CHRISTmas break. Kubota has been shut down since Thursday PM, and will reopen Tues AM. All other on line customers will receive traffic Monday if necessary, but will not unload freight until Tuesday, except Leon Farmer, since the beer sales have been strong lately, they will need to restock the stores. All rail traffic will be clear of the main line by 11:00 PM 24 DEC 2005, and all switches will be lined for the main, fuel and water will be available in Gainesville for those who need it. Signals will be set to GREEN, and the interchange track is currently clear. We are expecting a visit from the Polar Express around 11:30 PM 24 DEC 2005, and the Santa Special should arrive at 11:59:59 PM 24 DEC 2005. The returning Polar Express should arrive around 12:30 AM 25 DEC 2005, and the line is expected to be clear by 1:00 AM 25 DEC 2005 for the rest of the day.

Also, be advised, that the annual CHRISTmas shipment of coal to the North Pole has been CANCELLED. Any coal deliveries by way of Santa will be shipped directly to the recipient.

Thank you for your continued business.
