    One time on one of my mom's trips to Florida we were on our way home and we stopped at a railroad crossing and when I saw there were five high-powered locomotives on the head end I told her shut the car off Mom we're going to be here for a while. We sat there 15 minutes and I counted the cars and it was 275 cars. Of course it was the hold for tonnage people who destroyed the service the railroads were famous for. Short lines always gave great service because that's all they had to offer. The Long Island Railroad handled 8000 freightcar loads a year until they sold it to New York and Atlantic. The transit authority was used to the 8,000 carloads the Long Island wood handle. The New York and Atlantic gave such great service to their shippers that their carloads went to 37,000 per year. The transit authority was not used to having so much Freight traffic. When you give good service to your shipper your business increases, they had one shipper who said I called them up to say my car was empty come get it and within our they came and got it. Now that's good customer service.

    A little clarification on the fracking sand cars on the first train. In Binghamton yard just to the west of I-81 there is a transload facility where the sand haulers load to head into the northern tier gas field. And some of the cars are also sent into Wyoming and Bradford county for their gas fields both of which are along former Lehigh Valley trackage
