For this activity you will be using the Mikado #900.

 

It is a cold winter morning and the demand for coal is high. To add to the problem an inbound transport of diesel fuel has derailed, leaving some of our diesel engines out of fuel. To solve the situation the old Mikados have been put back into service and you are to drive the #900 with a coal load from Swik to McConnelsville. Be careful, the track is very slippery today due to the snow on it. The tender is almost empty so you must fill it up at the coal and water towers at Swik RR yard. When arriving in McConnelsville head into the wye dropping off the coal consist on the entry leg. Reverse out the other leg to hook up to the rear of the coal consist. Now it is time to head forward to the reverse point on the mainline. When hitting the reverse point it is time to reverse down to Enocell Barging. Be careful, it is a steep grade and the track is slippery due to all snow. After dropping off the full coal cars at Enocell Barging-1 head into Enocell Barging-2 to pick up the empties bound for Swik.

 

Clearances:

You must leave the Swik area and enter the mainline before 08:30 a.m.
