    Now that was a well choreographed set of trains and moves to get all of the PCCM freight traffic moving in the right direction and arriving at the intended consignees. An excellent use of locomotive power to work both the yard and the locals. The four car block of KP&W freight cars was very impressive and it was nice to the AP 79 caboose bringing up the markers! Well done Sir Neal!!!!
