Season Greetings and Update

First the Crew and Management of WRS wishes all the Best of the Season.



WRS has picked up a second MEC RS11, number 802. Once the Shop have completed the updates and check of the new unit it will be working with its sister unit 801 on the Mainline Trains, replacing leased the BN 424s.




The Shop has also been busy working on Cabooses, with four now in the fleet. Shown here on a test run over the line. This will address the issue of late with foreign caboose.

Fall River & Eastern

Last Sunday Dave had the Operating Group over to the Fall River & Eastern for tour of the layout and operating session. This session was to test the newly installed DCC System and to do a little switching and running of trains. Formal operating sessions are still a few months away. Dave has to name the Towns and Industries first.
Below are a few pictures that Dave supplied for this report.
Yes there was a "Corn Field Meet". Luckily both trains were following the slow orders. See picture at the bottom. One of the issues to be addressed is which track is the East Bound and which is the West Bound.
