Wednesdays at the layout are often too hectic to host a formal op session, but this week was a little different.
So we set the signal mode to CTC, put Logan @SouthernIllinoisRailfan in the dispatcher seat, while myself, Zach @hillbillyrailfan and Rylin moved some much needed freight.
My train tonight was the Starr local, which departs east from Argentine Yard for Starr siding, where we'll run around our train, and move west back to Martin Jct. Here, there are 2 customers, EthyGen and Doc's Scrap, that need to get switched.
All the work went smoothly, except for a couple of minor derailments, and a dirty switch. There wasn't anything to bring back, so engine light with the shoving platform (aka caboose).
Also, I ducked my head into the dispatcher's office just in time to hear a track warrant get copied for a train heading up the branch line.
