--

We are on the return trip with a string of loaded hoppers going to Circus City to be sent on to their destination from there. We are waiting for dispatch at the signal leaving VM.

----

There is not much documentation needed on this one since it is a cut-and-dried trip back to CC. Only 20 miles at most. However, it has begun to rain and we are once again severely short on power, so something different has to be done.

 

At CC, you are going in on Outgoing 1. Clear the ladder, then take your 3 engines and seesaw your way to the fuel pump where the activity will end. You will do the switching

 

NOTE:

20mph restriction due to rain and weather until Klosen Ridge, where you may resume speed.

 

Problems/Notes:

I would suggest speeds no more than 10-12mph at MP1 (before KR) and 35mph at MP3 after Junctionville

 

You can make it without running in the red for more than a minute or two at a time. Be careful of the Traction Motors.

 

There are no AI since the conditions are hectic enough as it is with too much possible variation in time.
