_______________________________________

You are called off the extra board to run from the Tessmocker Coke Company to the Marietta yards.

 

Your power will be SW-1500 NERR 1056.  It is idling in the west end of the wye and ready to go.

The empties are setting in track 1.  A rookie conductor set out some grain loads in track  7.   The yardmaster is having a fit and wants the loads returned to the yard ASAP.   The road master will not allow loaded cars on the empty tracks, so we have to pull the empty cars before going down and getting the loads.   We want the loads ahead of the empties, so we'll cut the empties off on the switch lead, go get the loads, and come back for the empties.  All the cars will be set out in the WV&O yard tracks as listed in the work order.

 

The switches at Tessmocker will all be operated automatically, watch for the reverse points.  Some yard switches at Marietta will be operated manually, your conductor will advise you which ones.

 

You will tie up your engine in the fuel track, or will you?  Strange things happen on the railroad sometimes..
