North Eastern Railroad Freight Activity (c) 2003

NEMP 003 01a 8:00 am

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

Work Order: NEMP 003 01a

Board:

Time: 08:00 a.m.

Season: Autumn

Weather: Clear

Duration: 1 hr 15 min

Train: SD70M #9237   Extra 9237 West

Class: 1

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

You and your conductor, "Ironhead" LaFrance, have been on duty since 4:00am.

You've been called to take a Westbound train of empty coal hoppers from Shelby to Whitefish.

Keeping with NERR's Shelby Yard tradition, your train is 4 hours late getting out.

These cars are bound for a repair facility near Seattle, so consequently your train is not

high on the priority list and you'll be lucky to make it to Whitefish before going dead on the hog law.

Be careful of your speed through turnouts.

Max speed through all turnouts are listed in the Timetable and must be adheared to.
