@Apples55 posted:Thanks John/Pat/Dave/Pete for the informative responses. I found some Water Level Route videos on YouTube which I’ll watch in the next day or so. I do have a Legacy J3a, so I’ve got some additional motive power if needed. I also have some NYC milk cars and Pacemaker boxcars to add into the mix. And I’m pretty sure I have a combine and another baggage car, but @harmonyards, even if I could afford two dozen baggage cars (I can’t), I haven’t anywhere near the amount of real estate needed to run something that long

Paul, some good info here on Pacemaker & Early Bird Fast Freight on that link,….Pacemaker freight didn’t appear until 46, and Early Bird till sometime after that,….I don’t think you’d see Pacemaker freight cars mixed in mail & express ….Pacemaker freight was a totally separate service, and freight still had to yield right of way to express and passenger varnish,….
