NEDF 109 X01 BG_MS -
Part1, Burkes Farms to Marshall
----------------------------------------
Work Order: NEDF 109
X01 BG_MS
Time: 9:00 a.m.
Season: Spring
Weather: Clear
Duration: 1 hr 5 min
Train: GP38
Class: 4
----------------------------------------
We are working out of
Maggies Corner, but are starting at Burkes Farms on
the siding's lead track with just enough horsepower
to make it. We are a low priority unit, so there may
be some delays. This is part one of a multiple part
activity.
We begin by backing up,
then straight forward, crossover and back again to
pick up loaded grain cars #32769-8-0 then
straight back for
#32768-0-8 Burkes
Supply Track. Back again for
#32771-0-3 at Burkes Reclamation and Fertilizer.
Go almost all the way
forward then back onto the track next to Burkes
Supply and pickup the remaining
#32770-0-6 (the empty
cattle cars are last)
in
that order .. use the
yardview (7 key) to find the cars if needed.
Back up until you can
get the (unmarked) West Lead to Main.
You are not cleared for
the main until 9:20, so wait at the lead to the main
if you finish early.
You are responsible for
all switches until we hit the main. Once there they
will be set for you.
Warnings: Speeding is
not tolerated on the ADF or M&RM, so beware!
Main: 55 maximum today
considering our load and motive power
Sidings: 30mph
Yards: 15mph
All crossovers,
diverging switches (points) tighter than 5 degrees
have a 30mph speed limit. All of
those East of MM 156 are high-speed, all of
those West of MM 156 are limited with no warning.
However, the conductor will let you know when the
end of the train has cleared so you can resume your
speed.

An approximate time
list is as follows:
9:00a Switching - 4 AI
at varying times. No conflict
9:20a
On Main - AI Eagle EB
alongside
9:25a Maggies Corner -

One 10degree
switch before mm154
9:40a Baers Wye - AI
between here and Marshall. No conflict if on
schedule
Another 10degree
switch after Baers
