That's a wrap! Put it in the books on the N.Y.C.T.L. for a series that saw the movement of a record breaking number of freight cars! Nicely handled by several trains over the last two weeks! It was fun to see so many cars on the Belt Job that were recently forwarded by the KPD getting set out at local industries. The Haydon Heights run continues to be an interesting addition to the ops! Nice inclusion of new PC and NH covered hoppers on that run! Glad to see that GP35 #2327 is out of the shop and certified as road worthy! I noted the assortment of good looking open ca loads on the LIRR MA-3 and also enjoyed the all former-PRR lashup on the train the LIRR run met. Great work all around and we thank you!
