While the train headed by the F units and GP9b is running (I need to come up with train names or numbers!) another operator can call this pair of KP&W F7s from the loco yard. Eventually the Penn Central train will be parked on one of the hidden tracks behind West Mill so the route will be clear for the KP&W train these locos will lead.

The locos couple to a string of hoppers at Kings Port Steel and will pull them over the entire layout until the train is parked on the other of the hidden tracks behind West Mill. I know the hopper pictured has a full load. Obviously the train of hoppers leaving the steel mill will be empties. I'm working on a string of KP&W cars for this purpose.
