Season: Winter

Weather: Clear

Duration: 1h 29m

Train: CMT#046

Class: 2

 

You're running the Saratoga shuttle and are called to make an extra loop around the old M&RM to pickup the passengers at Cedar Ridge, EF Auto, Woodgrove, North Fork, and Hampton taking them to Bogville to catch the Budds coming through there

 

You have just come into the Cedar Ridge Station on the normal shuttle run. You need to wait until the station master gives you permission to proceed and you are on your way.

 

Following is our itenerary that is not visible in the Station Monitor:

 

EF Auto Shop track. If AI is still waiting when you get back to the main, pull up close to the signal, then back up slightly to prod them on.

 

WG Industrial 1st bldg (you need to set switches for this and next two)

WG Auto Tire & Rubber 1 - Blue Warehouse on the right

WG Parts supply 2 - Right past Loader (you should now have hit a reverse point and should be back on track). If not, back out the same way you came in

 

North Fork Station

Hampton Station - on the way in. Follow instructions afterwards

 

Caines Christmas Trees Stop under canopy on track 1

Bogville Gas Station in center of town right before road

Bogville Station by 11:45 (which should easily be more than enough time) to meet the Budds and be gone out of their way.

 

Meets: various opposing meets on double track

Will possibly have to wait at Cedar Ridge to get on the main.

Possible waits at EF and Woodgrove.

At finish in Bogville, you may either have to wait for traffic to get back out on the main, or you can alternatively take the right exit without passing the signal and back into the station, although there may be a heavy freight breathng down your neck.

 

Notes: Speed limit 50 max

Sidings 30mph

yards 15mph

 

Notes about the CMT. It automatically shifts between 29 and 30mph at 80 to 100%. The 30mph speed limit is best done at 28-29mph in gear 1, not letting it shift. 80% is perfect for 50mph.
