Work Order: NEDF-109-10-GASO-WB19a (Final for Westbound .. SE, NE and CT Divisions)

Time: 12:30pm

Season: Summer

Weather: Clear

Duration: 1hr 27min

Train: 484#109

Class: 1

----

We have just come into Marshall and are waiting for #2 to arrive. As soon as Marshall gives us the okay to proceed, we are on our way to Saratoga for the final leg of the trip. Follow your timetable as closely as possible since there is traffic, both opposing and passing

----

Restrictions:

30mph restricted Crossovers at

MP137 (East End of bridge)

MP115 (in and out of CR Siding)

MP101 - going into Saratoga bypass

----

NOTES:

At Cedar Ridge, pull to the end of the siding (clearing the reverse (waiting) point) and hold before the signal. After GASO2 passes, you may need to creep forward to wake up the first signal. The second signal is very close (.1 mile) so be aware.

 

At the mousetrap, all of the signals are very close together, so adjust your speed accordingly. There will more than likely be a short delay getting across the bridge

 

Most of this was done at 4-5mph below the posted speed limit or 75mph max. 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.

 

Hope you have enjoyed this series.
