The Fall River & Eastern is a large twin tracked layout with two freight yards, one has a complete engine serving area, and there is also a passenger yard. A coal mine, meat packing plant, brewery and fish plant are the major industries. There are also number of smaller industries to be switched.
The main yard was switched by Pierre, which kept him busy dealing with the Meat Packer Switcher, North Peddler, South Peddler and Local Peddler. The Way Freights and Thru Freights were not included in this session.
Wayne and I did the South and North Peddlers. These trains operate between the two yards and switches the industries along the line.
Glen and Dave did the Meat Packer Switcher and the Local Peddler. The Local Peddler switches the three local industries near the main yard. The Meat Packer Switcher services the Meat Packers operation, which includes cattle unloading, ice loading, warehouse and coal unloading.
The Crew is looking forward to the next session.

Gee I look funny with glasses on, thanks for all of your work in devising an operating system.
Yes - it was a an intresting session and gave me the impression that future sessions will come along quickly and it will be a great railroad to operate on. Till next time....
Wayne, you are correct, future sessions as we go to five or six crews will added even more to the operations. It will be an interesting layout to operate on.
Dave, no problem, just glad it is working out.
