This week's ops

[Ralph]

Well, this week's ops are taking more than a week! I've been trying to be smart about my train sequences so sidings and spurs are cleared for future moves. An example of this is the way local train MK-4 (Mayfield to Kings Port) clears the float yard for a transfer run that will later fill up those float yard tracks.

MK-4 comes out of staging.


The short local heads onto the main but soon the GP30 at the head end will be backing up to grab those four boxcars in the float yard.


The loco couples up with the boxcars...


...and pulls them out of the yard to hook up with the rest of the local.


...and heads on its way, later to be seen on the high line at Kings Port.
