With the missing Crew members, a few people got to do different jobs. Pierre took over the North Yard Job. Dave ran the Main Line Trains and the MEC Transfer. Bruce did the Roseton Job and assisted on other Jobs. Glen and Jeff worked the Paper Mill. Leaving Jamie and I to do the Dogwood Job. This was the first time that I had done a Job on the Railroad, except the MEC Transfer in a long time. Man, I was rusty.
When Pierre had a little down time in the Yard, he and Bruce did the Bartown Job, yes this Job got done for once.
A few things have happened to the WRS since the last operating session, The head of the Electrical Department, found his old notes on adding a Booster to the Control system. Rumour has it, this work was not done for the WRS, but for the NBR&N, were he has been moonlighting. The other item was the Bartown Job was added to list of trains the North Yard Crew had to assemble, which was just it time.
WRS was hoping to have another session in May, but it is looking more like mid June, due to scheduling issues.
It was nice to see a few operators from the past, and a new one.
Below are a few pictures

We all had a great time.
Until next time
