Time: 12:30 p.m.

Season: Summer

Weather: Clear

Difficulty: Hard

Duration: 2 hours

Train: 1 SD70m

Class: 3

 

You are assigned to SD70m # 9237, dispatch call number the same.  Proceed from Byesville to Cambridge Mechanicals, where you will pick up some oversize but relatively fragile machinery to deliver to Ward's Precision Gauges in Zanesville.  The speed limit for this trip is 35mph once you couple to the Schnebel transporter.  Also, you must slow to 20mph for switches, crossovers, and rough track.  There is no schedule, as long as you get to Ward's today.  Because of the nature of your freight, your train has priority; mainline clearance will be given as needed.  A Ward's company rep will be riding in the caboose with the conductor, but don't let that rattle you.  Just drive carefully.  There is a section of rough track from about mile 49.4 to 49.1.
