    talk to me about carfloat operations.

    We still have them around here just on a smaller level. Still one of the only ways to get freight cars into the 5 boroughs with out going up to Albany and back down.

    talk to me about carfloat operations.

    There used to be many car float operations here in New Jersey to shuffle cars over to New York City. Might be worth checking into. They were operated by such fallen flags as CNJ, PRR, LV, Erie and DL&W. The later two just becoming EL. You also had NYS&W and NYC.

    Ditch Lights - Front Only or Front and Rear?

    I don't see it in here but most of the NS Dash9's have ditch lights on both ends of the locomotives. I guess this is just in case there becomes the possibility the leader needs to be cut and the other unit is trailing with no place to turn it. Not a fun ride to say the least but you do what ya...

    scenery before track?

    Track first, no questions asked. I belong to a club and trying to fix track work when there is scenery in place already is a pain in the neck.

    NS and UP

    Speaking for what I see with NS trains near me it seems anything can end up in any type of service. I have seen locals with a GP38-2 and an SD50 to just a single dash 9. It comes down to whats available to go at the time.
