This Work Order will take us between Mac Doel and Gosport (Silex siding) with 2 pick-ups on the way.

Some grades are quite difficult, so check your brakes and sand before leaving.

Speed limits are as posted, except there is a  25 mph maximum in the yards.

You must always request clearance on entering the main line.

This Workorder has it's entire path laid out.  There is one erroneous reverse point that will disappear but there is also a pop up that lets you know why. If you follow the path making sure all the Reverse Points disappear as they should the activity will complete as it should.
