Support for R.M.O. Electric and neighboring industries
Now that R.M.O. Electric has the additional track that it desperately needed, management of the A.P.R.R. was faced with another situation. R.M.O. executives wanted assurances that while the extra cars are on site, they don't want to wait for days to have cars switched within the plant. A call was made to the Richmond Hill Engine Terminal, and newly acquired GEE 44 Toner #900 was dispatched to Rock Ridge. A.P.R.R. #900 was about to enter the shops for lettering, but the pressure from R.M.O. executives (plus a large alligator skin briefcase handed over to A.P. management), made the decision an easy one.
A.P. #900 is now based at R.M.O. Electric and will handle the power plant. In addition, #900 may be used to switch out its neighbor, Cargill. A crew will be dispatched daily to serve the plant, even though no switching may not be needed that day. Rumor has it the briefcase covered a substantial 'gratuity' for having the engine based on the premises. Oversight of the engine will be controlled by Rock Ridge Yardmaster.
Perfect engine for the R.M.O. facility. With all these suitcases of cash floating around the APRR I am surprised you don't have an alligator farm on the layout to meet the suitcase demand.
ReplyDeleteNice addition to the R.M.O. Plant! I think that 44 tonner will work great there. I like the way the executives of R.M.O. Electric deal with the executives of the A.P.R.R.! Money talks, bs walks!
ReplyDeletePerfect loco for the job!
