Sept 28 Operating Session

The Crews of the WRS were busy again last night.



Wayne, in front, working the Mainline Trains, Glen and Pierre in the background working Dogwood and Roseton.




Dave, in tie, and Wayne are working 203 N at Dogwood, as Glen, Dogwood Operator watches.

Under the new operating session, the Mainline is very busy with six trains. Last night, Wayne ran these trains with the assistance of Dave, later in the session. Because the South Connection has not be completed, it required a few extra movements getting the train from the Yard to South Connection or from South Connection to Yard.

The Mill is serviced by four of these trains plus the In Mill moves, which kept Pierre busy. But he did have time to do a little work in Roseton as well.

Dogwood is service by four of the Mainline Trains, and Rosewood are also serviced by four of the Mainline Trains. Most of the work in these two towns was done by Glen.

I was busy in the Yard staging trains and being Freight Agent.

We had a great time again.

So you either didn't send the memo to Dave that tie's were no longer in the dress code, or everyone else didn't get the memo that ties were now required in the dress code. Hmmm...

Only brakemen are required to wear ties.

Good to see the trains are still running although it is starting to look like a Formal Operation Session now Doug. Guess I'll have to buy a tie for my next trip ;-)

Geezzz Doug - you didnt mention those fogotten pick -ups at Roseton... good thing the engineer was trying to be enviromentally friendly and had it in his mind all along that he would pick them up on the return trip - burns less fuel that way.....

All of those items are listed as "issues with the Freight Agent". Someday he will get all of his paperwork in order.
