While I have not started moving around the modules yet. Still working on a master plan. I have started on the new paperwork.
Gone are the Runs. Now there will train numbers. 101N and 103N will depart the South Yard for the North Yard and 102S and 104S will travel from the North Yard to the South Yard. For now, until the layout is rearranged, the South Yard will be Track 1 at White River Paper Co.. Note the 100 series trains will not be doing any local switching.
The 202S and its return trip 203N will be a local departing the North Yard for Junction, Dogwood and Mill. The 204S and 205N will depart from North Yard serving Riverside and Bartown and maybe Roseton. There will a local switchers for now, at the Mill, Junction and Dogwood.
This will likely be changing as more testing is done by the Crews.
The layout of the paperwork also will be changing for the Locals. Since cars will now be coming in and departing on different trains.
One of the other things that will be changing is the length of trains. 100 series trains will have two loco and 12 to 13 cars, down from the 16 cars of the old Mill Run. 200 series trains will be a single loco with seven cars max, down from 10 cars of old Dog Run.
Now back to working on the new Train Orders, the first operating session with the new arrangement is coming soon.

The train runs were very simple to operate. But as always we are up to the challenge and will be interested to see the changes

I hope the new paperwork will not be that much different then what we are pesently using. But that is what the tests are for.
For the 100 Series Trains, the paperwork will be roughly the same as the present Mill Run with one added stop. The 200 Series Trains, may operate the same as the 100 Series Trains, still working on this one. The biggest change will be in the local switchers, where they may have to deal with up to four different trains each session entering their area.
