To all the MOW employees, I want to say Awesome Railroad. To all the rest of the employees, I just want to say that I just rode the Main line at track speed, and I’m very impressed. You have all outdone yourselves to build a Main line that matches any class 1 railroad. With few exceptions, the RR was smooth, solid, and fun to ride...you should all be very proud of all your hard work. As we enter the new year, the excitement of big time railroading will only get better. Thanks to all of you we are in the strongest financial position in our entire history. The track has never been better and we are set for all the new business that comes our way.
The new Nesquehoning bridge opening will only enhance our productivity, and offer many fun passenger opportunities so we can be the BEST, well rounded, community-oriented freight and passenger railroad in the country, bar none.
Today I’m announcing that, because of our great track condition and new Nesquehoning Bridge and Connection, the first train over the connection for the general public will be Saturday, April 18, 2020. This will be a full round-trip maxi railfan event from Reading Outer Station, to Pittston and back. All day on the rails for a fun excursion. Watch for more details in coming weeks.
In closing, I’d like to say a well deserved thank you to all employees, and I hope you all have a great Holiday Season. We are a small family RR, and for the whole Muller/Levan family, it just makes OUR Holiday that much better as we look forward to enjoying the holiday with you. See you at the Party.
Best wishes for a great holiday season
Andy.
