Operating Session

The WRS will be moving freight again on June 30. I am hoping to have the new paper work done before the session. After visiting the operations on PEI, I have finally added another column to the Switch List, which will now list the cars which are to remain at the Industry. In many cases, most of the cars have to be moved during the session, because the car which you have to pick up is behind the car that has to remain. The new addition will allow the crew to check to see if all the cars were returned to their proper location at the end of the day.

Speaking of Paper Work, it was interesting to see how the same basic paper work, (all from the same computer program) was used on the three different layouts that I visited on the Island. As the requirements of the layout change, so does the supporting paper work.

Yes, our paperwork is all the same, except for one different set for Wayfreight's on the BS&T. Brian, Derwin, Clayton, and I each use them in slightly different ways. It's proven to be quite a versatile system.
