Activity NEDF-026-23E -- 5th in the -23 Series.

 

You're starting the run with a brace of SD24's.  You've drawn the local switching run heading over to Marshall where you'll drop off cars headed east and west.  The westbound cars will be picked up by the through frieght in activity NEDF-088-23F.  You'll switch out the cars dropped off by the through freight in activity NEDF-026-23G-.

 

Pull out into the yard and follow the reversing points to couple to your outbound car cuts.

 

Speed Limits:

 

Yards:          15 MPH

Mains/Branch:   40 MPH

 

Drive Safely!

 

Operational Notes:

 

This activity is 95% fully pathed so that the engineer uses reverse points to make most movements. 

 

I tested this activity extensively on two different systems.  I use DirectX 9a.

 

All hills are possible working within the established work order speed limits or exceptions as granted by popups.

 

There are two potential waits for opposing trains -- neither should be more than 6 minutes.  The first is near BWF Mining, the second is Marshall.
