I like the back to back pair of SW8 NYC switchers that had a lot to do gathering cars from various large industries close to the yard. Those businesses certainly add a lot to local operations as do the Pier 16 connections. Nice roll-by videos of both trains coming to the Kings Port Division! We'll be ready to receive all of those cars for next weekend's installments!

Those SW8 engines move a lot of freight. Nice to see your moves setting up future PCCM’s. Train TW-67 is the favorite today with the pair of Geeps. Both outbound trains look good and I like the new train number assignments, as they’re very specific to the KPD. Well done!
