It’s nice to see the inbound trains and local train moves completed. What’s really nice to see are all of the private road names all of us have to enhance our car movement. I liked the special ‘eclectic’ train move to Selkirk that did indeed have quite an interesting set of engines.
Great work Sir John!
Thank you very much Sir Neal!!!!

Neat to see the two SW8s on the point of BT-27/28! The units put in a good day's work also running the Water Street Job, an enjoyable newer op to railfan. Fortunately tunnel portals in Empire City are tall enough to accommodate Hi Cubes! The "eclectic consist' on the train that met BT-27's locomotives is classic Penn Central. Big Mike would huff! A nice combination of trains and rail action!
Thank you very much Ralph!!
