-----------

General Information:

There are three extended waits for AI to pass

SS-before you leave the yard .. approx 2 minutes

Cedar Ridge-9 minutes (I suggest getting out of the cab via 2,3,4 or 7 key and enjoy the fresh air) :-)

Marshall-8 minutes - same as above

The reverse point at Cedar Ridge and Marshall is not a reverse point, but a passing point. Clear it, wait for the AI to go around, then proceed as normal. You may have to move forward slightly to wake the signals up. Us '7' Yard view if you wish to track it's progress. Same at Marshall (make sure to clear both ends of the siding)

 

btw, you are not required to fill in an incident report for running over any hostile traffic at the second crossing after leaving the yard. They just won't stay put behind the crossing lights :-)

 

 Speedlimits:

15mph - yards

30mph - 10degree or tighter crossover

60mph - maximum due to being low priority

 

The fuel filler pipe is slightly forward of the 'N' in NERR
