Your 80-car train has been ordered, will be G-TOLSAG-24 for the empties. It is a CSX train with new [..CSX..] hoppers. Crew currently scheduled to get it around noon that day with the crew turning from a G-WEBTOL-23. Will let you know when we drop it off in Paines.
I've been meaning to ask you for awhile now, how would you like moving the interchange to Saginaw? The current setup with Paines is gettin crowded. We can offer to sell you the line up to the Saginaw City limit, then give you trackage rights into Saginaw Yard, and interchange there. So you get customers, current and future, up to the limits, and great access to Saginaw Yard. This move will also benefit both our customers, since interchange traffic will move faster.
We'd pencil you in for one inbound turn per day, X-SAG, for an inbound run to the yard, yard your inbound train, take your power and grab the outbounds.
OK saginaw yard will work ill call your dispatch when i get close to mershon to get clearance to enter the yard when ever we have trains to swap
yea the elevators have lots of wheat to get rid of for the upcoming harvest this fall the train will be about 55 cars of wheat and 25 of corn it will take about a week to fill them all since the elevators only work on weekdays
does any of your trains run to midland mi if you'd like to sell the trackage from saginaw - midland i might be interested

MQT can do the re-wire. We can also do a general overhaul of the locomotives, including the prime mover, and install MUGC and/or RC controls. Your choice.

I guess we have a few 710s lying around here...of course hardly any of our units have their original prime mover...we just take each out and refurbish it later with major rebuilds...uh I think we can do that. MUGC and/or RC?
Including Paint and all, probably $56,000. MUGC, RC not included. Comes with a 3-year warranty on worked-on mechanical and electric components, MUGC and RC come with lifetime warranties.
