Class: 4

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

A continuation of NEDF-109-F01. The return trip to North Fork. Finally getting some good weather, the traffic is cleaned out, but there's some heavy work to do. You will get popups when you successfully pickup or setout a car, but you are going to have to follow the WO closely. Also a majority of this is not dispatch controlled. It only gets you there. You have to get in and out.

 

This will end when you stop at the first signal past Burkes siding

 

NOTE:  One exception to the above .. Burkes Setouts are backwards. Hoppers should be first, then Stock, followed by Stock pickups. Otherwise everything is set out for you correctly. Although the window will not give a "Done", it will show up on the evaluation correctly

 

Also see below additional items

 

Good Luck and we'll see you at Burkes

Hints, tips and gotcha's:

 

Until you get out of Nuggett, there is no pathing. You are on your own. If you can, use the WO order for how they should be collected. If you're not sure, it's Nuggett Fabric, Manleys Tools, Andrews Clothiers, Nuggett Light & Power, Nuggett Concrete. Then tack them onto the back of North RailLink 2, run around, collect them and you're on your way.

 

Don't forget to tab for permission

 

This uses only front coupler for the first 40 minutes or so and is in the following order.

 

Pickup empty Bethgon Hoppers and Concrete Hoppers first. Back them up and tack them onto RailLink 2 behind the other cars. Then go back and get the remaining cars and leave them on the long South Siding. Run around, collect everything, then back up to get them and you are on your way. This is the longest way, but has the best chances of completion (and is what I based the long version time on, but yours will vary)

 

If you have trouble and cannot complete it, you can do a short form or any variation of it. The easiest (and most reliable) variation is as follows:

 

Simply pickup the North RailLink 2 track and continue forward from there (ignoring the Nuggett front coupler business). You will come up with the last five or six pickups incomplete, but ignore them. It will still end successfully and you will simply have a shorter time. There are two evaluations included as two different examples of time and configuration.

 

Do not trigger the Reverse Point the first time you go into Burkes. Then when you come out, it may be there and may not. If it is visible, simply go past the opposing direction signal to trip it and back up. If it is not visible, go past the opposing signal about a train length, then backup and tab for permission, continuing on your way.
