Rock Ridge Yard out!
Terminal Yard continues to move freight out quickly. Bedford Turn ran smoothly. I like the fact that you have the RS-2 units on the Bedford runs. Something about that look that impresses me. Congratulations on adding a new consignee to the NYCTL operations; Century Steel. Shapeless Steel welcomes the new business! Adding the 4 U-Boat move on this initial run was very impressive.
Great runs and looking forward to more moves!!
Thank you very much Sir Neal!! The RS2s seemed to have found a home in Bedford Park. Based on our conversations it was time for some U-boats to get into the action:
