My version of Penn Central

[MagnumForce]

You are a 37 year old man, not a bullied child. I was bullied as a middle schooler too, doesn't mean I think acting the way you have is fine because of it though. You allowed yourself to get worked up, I did nothing to do it. Then you proceeded to call me names. Grow up.

Now I'm done.

[Y@]

Not once did Brent bully you... Jesus Christ on a bicycle, this is outta whack.

I am taking a sabbatical from this forum for a while, I will be back eventually. For the guys in the paper railroad group, if you need to ask a question, send me a PM. Thank you for your understanding.

Penn Central would like to wish its owner and CEO Chris Howe a happy 38th birthday today!

The Chessie has returned. It uses the M&N trackage has its own trains. Would you be interested in an interchange with the Chessie? The New "Kitten" uses The M&N between Baltimore and Cumberland, Baltimore to DC and CSX to Philadelphia.

[conrailman75]

Does your new Chessie system come to Pittsburgh? That's the only way I would be able to directly interchange with it.

Yes, we do, but on the M&N's tracks. We have one that goes to Pittsburg (PC-*) and one returning (CP-*). They run between Pittsburg and Cumberland. Our trains may have CSX and/or M&N power for now because we are waiting for our own power. You can respond to us or the M&N.
*= train number is the date. ex. PC-12 (today's date.)

There is a Chessie Train heading to Pittsburg. Its an intermodal that runs from the M&N in Cumberland to the M&N terminal in Pittsburg. But, there are mixed cars that can be dropped off to the PC. Its symbol CP-14. Chessie is running for CSX to Pittsburg. We'll let you know when its getting close to Pittsburg.

[conrailman75]

Thanks for the update, I'll notify the intermodal terminal in Conway to be on the lookout for it

Penn Central would like to extend its condolences to those who were killed in the bombing that ocurred today during the end of the Boston Marathon. Our prayers go out to those who were injured and we pray that they all survive and make a full recovery.

Got 42 45-CWs built for you now. Looking like you may get 50 out of 100 next month. We'll probably send them in 5 10 unit blocks up NS if that is alright with you.

[ES44AH]

Chessie CP-15 is on its way to Pittsburg. It has stopped in Connellsville to drop off its helpers. Oh, they have brand new locomotives, gleaming in bright yellow and blue. GP40-2s #4100-4105 are the first to wear Chessie colors again.

That's fine, have NS route them up to Cincinnati and I look forward to receiving them.

Thanks to the good weather we've been experiencing this month, the crews were able to finish up relaying the Vandale Secondary from LaOtto to Churubusco to the new Poet ethanol plant in plenty of time for its opening on May 1st.

The cars have been dropped off, and PC-16 has picked up the cars from last time. We just got our new GEVos. They will be on CP-17 tomorrow if you want to see them.

Let me give this radio chatter stuff a try

Disp: "PC Fort Wayne West Dispatcher calling CSX Q357 over"
crew: "Q357 answering, go ahead dispatcher"
Disp: "Q357 I'm going to hold you at Valporaiso to get a hot mail train around you. He'll cross around you as soon as Amtrak #2 passes, which should be shortly, over"
crew: "Okay dispatcher, getting held at Valporaiso to be looped by a mail train, Q357 out."

Disp: "PC Fort Wayne West Dispatcher calling FWPC-43 over"
crew: "FWPC-43 answering, go ahead over"
Disp: "Yeah FWPC-43 I'm gonna put you over 1 to 2 at Hanna and back to one at Valporaiso to get you around a slower freight in front you as soon as Amtrak #2 clears you at Hanna, over"
crew: "Copy that, going 1 to 2 at Hanna and back to 1 at Valporaiso as soon as eastbound Broadway passes us, FWPC-43 out"

[ES44AH]

"Chessie 4404 on CP-16 to PC dispatch."

[conrailman75]

PC Pittsburgh Dispatcher answering, go ahead their Chessie
