What kind heavy equipment? Any front end loaders and the sort? I could use some for my mines. Mine getting pretty old.

[Anonymous]

[Anonymous]

Oh boy, lookas like opperturnity for hydraulic, parts, cylinders, fittings and tread (Or wheel nuts and bolts)

Give me a few days and I'll see what I can come up with.

[Noah Hofrichter]

LS&I, Yeah, this is a perment shipment. I have a lumber mill in town that serves local contractors, but they needed a souce for pulpwood. I see I have found it now!

Nick, make sure you do let us go what you'll have for heavy equipment. In Rivermoor, there is a new quarry going in(the buildings are going up over the winter to they can start mining right away in the spring) that needs a couple of front end loaders, backhoes, and bulldozers.

The stone quarry is willing to cycle one peice of equiptment per week (4 peices total) back to rebuild while a loaner is sent on lease. I see it will take about 3 months to complete the evolution if I can find a provider of heavy overhauling service that is capable of doing one peice of equiptment every 2 weeks.

I have expanded my small production of Kubota Tractor account to enable servicing of two other shops who needs parts. At this time I see 6 Boxcar loads (PER customer) per week. So the first two providers of heavy equiptment who needs parts and inventory who asks for it will get 6 Boxcars each per week. I have set out a total of 12 boxcars for this service.

Finally I am seeking a steel mill to provide me with 4 flat load's of 16 inch steel plate to be used as targets weekly.

Hey CW, GDRMB can do the rebuilding for you in 2 weeks per 2 peices of equipment. Just send em to Townsville Port and we'll do the rest.
O and if anyone is in need of new locomotives to meet EPA Tier II emission standards we currently offer 3 models, a small 3500hp unit, a larger 4400hp unit and a 6000hp unit, all six-axle road switchers.

Attention all -
I'm in need of a small shipment of concrete and plastic ties for a trial basis. If they work well, I may want to enter into a contract with said supplier(s) for retrofitting my yard with them.

I'll be able to do your concrete ties. I will grind up the rocks later and send to you. How many cars do you want? If you want a contract I'll build a building to mass produce them.

Halt of Shipment Notice

Due to a catastrophic wreck on the newly constructed upper pass, the annual shipment of "Santa's Christmas Coal" will not be shipped.

The wreck was a result of faulty ballast which resulted in the Double headed train leaving the rails. 601 Challenger derailing on the "Gut" bridge and the Allegheny plunging 50' into the Bone Yard. The result of this resulted in the 50 car train of 34' hoppers and 70 ton Ballast cars racing down a 6% double "S" curve line for a considerable length.

When asked as to what the outcome of the wreck was the CEO was heard saying...

"What a M.E.S.S."[:I]

Updates to follow.

I would like to take all 20 loads of food per week. Do you have a breakdown on this lading? (Reefer, Boxcar and Ventilated?)

I will get back to you on what your cargo needs tomorrow.

[twcenterprises]

LSIModeler

I'll take all the cabooses along with the all-doors.

Can fill your order for the MONEY, as long as it's in the form of GOLD (nuggets to be exact). We have an armored Pullman in Captive service (leased), and another on standby. We will be happy to fill your Gold needs, shipping in 34' open hoppers accompanied by the armored coach. We will provide security to the interchange point until the loads are picked up by the other RR. At that point, our security forces will be relieved by the next crew. Should you require their services to the point of delivery, they are open for negotiation as they would be independent contractors.

We are also able to fill your needs for the autos and lumber. We can load the autos either in tri-level auto racks or 50' doubledoor doubledeck auto-boxcars.

We will be happy to take beer, up to 5 loads per day. Please use temperature controlled cars during summer months to keep the booze cool. You can use regular boxcars during milder weather as needed.

Brad

[GDRMCo]

CW: You are going to have to send the equipment as soon as possible as our facility is filling up fast with the new motive power orders that we are getting. We will be able to have enough floor space for another 5 weeks so you'll have to hurry.
