June Update

May has came and gone and the WRS did not operate.  But did get a few projects completed.

Below are a few pictures of the new South / MEC Yard and the revised North Yard.
Note click on the pictures to enlarge.

This is a view from the center of the Yard looking North.  On the top left is the new engine service area , waiting for the leased MEC units to arrive and a couple WRS locos.

This the center of the Yard.  There are four Arrival / Departure tracks (left side) and two round around tracks and caboose storage in the middle of them (right side)

This is a view of  the south end of the Yard.  On the right bottom is the round around tracks.  On the top right is storage track for more cars if needed.

This is a view of  the revised North Yard. Three more tracks have been added to the Yard.  The Classification Yard will now be five tracks, an Arrival Track, Run Around Track and two Departure Tracks

This is view from the end of the Yard.  On the left is the Classification Yard, Arrival and Run Around Tracks in the middle and the Departure Tracks on the left.

The fascia still needs to be installed in the North Yard as seen in the above picture.

There is still more work to do.  With the changing of Yards, new paper work will be required and trains will have to be re-balanced.  And then the cleaning begins.

I am hoping to be operating on the WRS by the end of month if no major issues arises.
