    Greetings All,

Welcome Back to New York-New Jersey Ops #3!!!

NY-NJ Ops #3 concludes today with the inbound freight traffic from  Sir Neal's Atlantic Pacific Railroad's Rock Ridge Yard being delivered and moved to their final interchanges. Local trains will handle the final mile moves as the railroads seek to satisfy their customers and earn revenue.

We open our final installment in Empire City at North Side Yard with the Empire Belt trainman preparing to take Train EB-2 to the Penn Central's Terminal Yard.
