So they ran the three numbers once without sound and then reran them (same road numbers) with dcc/sound.
I have heard rumors that Atlas will announce a new freight car soon and it will be another modern car. I think their sales have been very good with their recent modern cars so I hope to see more in the future. Hopefully we will get another newer loco from them at some point as well.
Thanks

Anybody want to throw out a few educated guesses what that car might be?
Mine's not educated,just off the top of my head,but I'm hoping a 30K ethanol tanker.
Would also like to see a 4600 cu ft 3 bay ACF covered hopper,but think out of the 2 the Ethanol would win out.(?)
