Nice cooperative work between the Penn Central, Atlantic Pacific, and Morristown and Erie to wrap up this weekend op! Grain hoppers, coal hoppers, and cement hoppers featured in this series made their respective journeys of loading and unloading and have been nicely delivered to their final destinations. Even though we limited the car forwarding to a hopper theme there was still plenty of work for the APRR to complete. Great job!

Nice work wrapping up the operations on the APRR!!! Hoppers, hoppers and more hoppers provided some nice moves across the PCCM layouts and the APRR delivers the PCCM freight efficiently and with style. Great job all around Sir Neal!!!
