For today, in honor of the Great American Smoke Out, ADF is using every steamer in their roundhouse doing with today's cars, what they did for years in their own time. Makes for interesting AI, even if completely fictional!

----

Just found out there is a derailment between here and Perkins, so we have to go over the mountain. Puts a damper on our Steam Day, but at least we are already prepared and ready to go since we still have our helper with us. Looks like he's getting a few extra hours today.

----

NOTES:

Keep in mind the best passenger pickup time will be as much as -0.05 past the station. I put the center of the train right at the middle of the platform to get shortest loading.

 

Restricted speeds:

30mph - Restricted diverging switch (MP1.2)

20mph - Bridge after Baileys Memorial East (after MP35)

20mph - Bridge after Gold Run (after MP37.3)

Once your engines have cleared, resume speed

 

Most stops have a 'yard view' if you want to see what is going on around. '7' key

Very heavy up grade between Pilar and GoldRun so be prepared.

Helper Division East you are working blind coming out of a tunnel. Be careful with your brakeman and conductor ;-)

 

Maintain 5mph under the posted speed limit (except for the 40mph) and you should have no problems. I have purposely used the "Automatic Fireman" on these to derive times so that anyone with the inclination to run it could feasibly do so.

 

Critical Meets:

MP14:43 - Junctionville Cutoff  (you should be there first)

MP40.4 - Passing Siding (should be a running meet)

 

Hope you enjoy
