    Everyone talks about wanting the M9, and or the DE30AC/DM30AC. Am I the only one who would like freight services via the New York and Atlantic?

    I might be in favor of that if switching were included, but freight on this route would probably come only in the form of through trains that would have to yield the right of way to passenger runs.

    Do you mean DE-30ac
    If so I think that would be cool

    All for expansion of the route. Just think freight would give some nice variety. If the route is grown at all just throw in a yard.

    Typo. And as I said that ain't really my kind of thing. I just think freight services would add variety.

    Just think it would make a nice addition if they ever expand the route. Long as there is a yard on one of the ends. Plus more MP15 action would be cool.
