A lot of trains rolling again on the N.Y.C.T.L. with especially notable consists on the LIRR's MA-3 and the Empire Belt's EB-2! The addition of the Water Street Job really has provided extra operational interest and is generating more revenue daily! I appreciated all of the train meets with mixed manifests, the fast moving TV train, and passenger trains as well! I noted several cool looking open loads in gons and flat cars! Great installment!

This was a railfan’s delight! While I enjoy looking at each industry being switched, watching these 8 videos with all of the freight moving was what had me captivated to see the action, and action it was! Your TV train was impressive. What stole the show was your 34 car freight train!
Superb job Sir John!!
