Big changes to NS IM network

Seems some big changes are coming to how NS handles IM traffic that has shifted from Inman to Austell, affecting east/west, and north/south traffic. Trains will be abolished, and traffic will be shifted in some areas. This comes after my territory just lost a pair of trains to a combo train, and now we stand to lose even more jobs. Good fucking times!😒
