Rock Ridge Yard Out!
Now that’s a lot of cars going to Terminal yard. No wonder North Side Yard was full! I did like that NH engine in that consist. There’s a bunch of AP and EB cars on that train. I’ll have to let the APRR management to tell the electrical department to get a move on with the signal upgrade. We don’t want any excess storage charges. Nice work Sir John!
Thanks Sir Neal!!!!
DeleteThe APRR cars are going to be ready to go as soon as your signal system upgrade is completed!!!

Acknowledge dispatch of EB-2
West Mill out.
The MIJ had a lot of work to do and completed it in fine form as always...and in style with the GP9s/FB consist! As the train's progressed through Empire city I was starting a tally of all of the cars it was picking up for the Kings Port Division! Like Neal, I was impressed by all of the APRR and EBRR cars shown, each one a testament to your efforts to create fine looking freelanced rolling stock. I do want to hear more about the EBRR unit in the NH scheme! Its eye catching in the roll by video!
10-4 West Mill...
DeleteThank you very much Ralph!!!The KPD will be busy on the inbound! The caprice of the RTMF is once again giving us a nice ebb and flow to our freight traffic.
I plan to post about the NH/EBRR SDP40 this week before the inbound starts.
