WRS Rolled Again

Sunday after ten months traffic again rolled on the WRS.  The reason for the long period of shut down was because the basement had to be used as a basement again and not a railroad room.  Most of the Railroad was blocked with "stuff".

This Session was more a test session then a regular Ops Session since the Railroad had not operated since January.  As it turned out that was a good thing.  First half of the UP5s would not work.  So I had to run around like a chicken with its head cut off, looking for cables and female to female connectors so the Road Crews could reach a working UP5.  The Crew at the Mill had to swap switchers and then clean the wheels three or four times during the Session.  The  Crews also found a number of errors on the Paperwork.

We were only able to get about two thirds of the Session before time ran out.   Many thanks to the Crew of Dave & Barry R who worked the Mill, Glen who operated the Mainline Trains, Jamie and Pierre who did the Peddlers.  The North Yard was pre-staged for this Session.

Just finished checking the UP5's, they are all working now after reseating the cables in the UP5s.
Adjustments have been made to the Paperworks to correct the issues. And I will have to clean the trackwork and locos before the next session.

That is it for now
