The M&N executives are making plans to aquire the former B&O line between Pittsburg, PA and Chicago, Il. As of now, this plan is still on the drawing board. If this plan goes through, this will be the final extension of the M&N, as we are trying to get traffic from the Great Lakes to Baltimore Harbor. Details will be posted as soon as possible.

M&N GG1 #4800 and a flat car with eight GEB13 AC traction motors are departing Mullens, WV on the rear of E-SPTDKN12. They should arrive at Cumberland within two days depending on how the yardmasters choose to route them.

[ES44AH]

Ok, thanks. Let me know when Rivets in at the interchange and ill send the shop switcher to get her. Ill also send a flatbed truck to get the motors when they arrive. We have other electrics, they are good now, but would you be willing to help with repairs in the future?

[ES44AH]

S2 #6200 will conduct testing again. It will pull a test train from Cumberland to Brunswick. From Brunswick after a quick evaluation, 6200 will continue to Mt.Clare in Baltimore.

M&N 4800 and a flat car carrying 8 GEB13 AC traction motors just arrived in Cumberland on the tail end of M PARCMB1 11. We don't have any problem performing more repairs to your electrics. In fact, if you're interested, we will be purging some electrics from our roster when new ones are completed and delivered.

[ES44AH]

ok, ill send a switcher to pick them up. What electrics do you have?

[ES44AH]

#20 to AW interchange to pick up #4800 and a flatcar with motors for the C&O turbine.

[TCtrainguy17]

We'll probably be getting rid of our E44a and E60C electrics. They're the worst pullers of our heavy haul fleet.

[ES44AH]

how many of there of each? We have an E60 and 5 E44s, but we could augment the fleet. It doesnt need anything now, but would you be able to work on a GM6C? Im wondering since its a one of a kind unit.
