May 2 Operating Report

The WRS had a rare Friday night operating session.


Scott busy in deep thought, as he reviews the instructions for the Mill Job.

Glen, Bruce and visiting operator Curtis at Roseton desiding how to plan the meeting with their three trains.



The Mill Run holding at Roseton for the Dog Run.
It was an interesting night on the WRS, with three visiting operators, Scott and Curtis for PEI and Jeff from Halifax and Regulars Bruce, Glen and Ross. Since the crews have not been on the WRS for a while, things were a little rusty. I have to work on the Train Orders. Something was said about using 16 point bold for some of the instructions. The crews had to do a little more work to complete their jobs, but in the end, all the work got done and I believe everyone enjoyed themselves.

The photo of Scott is a real classic. What thought he is putting into the operation!

Thanks for the report, Doug. See you in Amherst!

I believe that photo was taken after we realized (were informed actually) that we had messed up the mill job and left with too many cars. I was trying to figure out what we did wrong. The first thing I discovered was that we hadn't read the instructions. It was all pretty much down hill from there! HA

We had a great time and it was a pleasant break from shopping. Thanks Doug!

Scott

The issue which caused you to be deep in throught is being addressed with a green highliter on both the Switch List and Train Orders.
