NEDF 109 L03 - Part 1. Taking empty gondolas from NWater to BWF Mining & bringing a load back

Work Order: NEDF 109 L03

Time: 7:45a

Season: Summer

Weather: Clear

Duration: 1h 33m

Train: GP38 #1000

Class: 1, 4 (depending on choice of popups)

-----------------

Your crew drew this extra-board trip since you were close by. NoWater Construction company supplies all the sand, ballast and winter materials needed for the entire area and is beginning their stockpiling now rather than waiting to the last minute. You are making their first trip which should be an easy one going to BWF Mining running with empties, except for the fact you are rated as very low priority.

----------------

You are designated as train #1000 for this trip, the same as your engine number

If you want popups, which I would strongly advise, you need to back up until you get a message verifying that they are turned on. Otherwise, you're on your own.

------------------

The switches are dispatch controlled on the main, but not any of the sidings or yards.

Take the engine behind you as a helper

You are not cleared to cross the main until 7:49

You are going back to NoWater to assemble your train in the following order.

MM73.6 - At  NoWater pickup

#32810-0-5  on NWEmpties

#32809-0-13 on NW Unloaded  and

#32801-0-14 on NW Holding 1 in that order

 

MM91.9 - 30mph crossover

MM92 - 30mph on Monkeys Eyebrow passing siding

MM93.6 - 30mph crossover, then resume speed once your train has cleared the Xover.

 

Then you are simply to get the unit to BWF and back.

-----------
