This is part 1 of the LF&NW's contribution to the virtual ops session 60. The first step is to rejigger some of the cars to match loads, industries, and interchange a little better based on how the virtual ops system is evolving.
Hoschton Railway 942998 had been at Jaques being loaded with wine, but John R, who is the arbiter of moves, directed it to Reynolds Beverage Distributors, Kings Port NY on Ralph V's Kings Port Division layout. Interchange with the KPD takes place via the LF&NW's West Egg Car Float, which is served by a job out of Mahnattan Transfer. Here's the sequence:
The Hoschton car is first-out on a shove to the car float.
Next is a Virginian & Ohio food service RBL car. (These cars are available from the
NMRA Cincinnati Division 7 car project, if anyone wants to get a duplicate for virtual ops. However, as the guys involved get older, they're becoming harder to deal with, so be warned.)
A New Haven boxcar in the final, Alpert scheme.
Erie S-4 528 is on the shove.
Passing EGG Tower
Passing M Neal Milk. Very tight clearance.
And finally onto the car float.

Nice job John! With a little more practice we'll finely tune the virtual ops car moves into and out of the LFNW.
