June 26 Update

The Monday Night gang was over last night. Sorry no pictures. Spend most of the time discussing differnet styles of operations and car forwarding systems and thinning of fleets.

This may have been the last operating session on the present WRS. Six months ago, when I started setting up my old modules, it was to test a certain style of layout and operations. Now I am looking at trying a different style of layout and operating methods. All of this is to help me determine what I want when I start the long term layout.

Expanded Yard

Two more tracks have been added to the exchange yard to increase it size. This should allow for another seven cars to be storied in the yard.

June 5 Update

Another good night of operations. We ran only two sessions because of all the time spend discussing the Truro Convention on the weekend and a few things for next year's Convention in Amherst.

The Freight Agent will be hunting for a new job, since half of the cars on the last session were send to the wrong place. Management is not buying it was the computer's fault, they believe the problem was between the seat and the keyboard.
