We have already been on the rails for several hours, but we still have a bit to do...

 

We must make up an empty coal train and put it on Whitefish siding 1 facing west

   32770  is the GP 38 #1011 sitting on the northern most siding with the mixed train

   32772 -10 through -0  are on whitefish siding 6

   32773 -7  through -0 on whitefish siding 7 between the chippers and loggers.

 

Pickups:

You do not need to have your train in any particular order when you pull out.

   32769-0  through -4 from whitefish siding 7

   30775-0  through -5 from whitefish siding 7

   32770-11 through -0 from the northern most siding

     these are hooked to the GP38 that is part of the coal empty to be made up

   32768-0  through -7 from whitefish siding 3

   32771-0  from the east rip

 

Dropoffs:

   32769-0  through -4 at Columbia Falls - Plywood

   30775-0  through -5 at Columbai Falls - Fiber Board

 

Pickup:

   32785-0 at Columbia falls - Flat Track.  More power to get over the hump.

Dropoffs:

 

   32770-11 through -0 at West Coram Industry

   32768-0  through -7 Shelby South 4

   Player Consist and the rest of the train at Shelby 2.(We are done here.)

 

Notes:

 

1. If any of the passing trains stop at the signals in front of you as you are switching, they will move the next time you back up. Don't let them sit there too long , or the next one will crash into them and end the activity.

2. Make sure you are on the SOUTH main when you pull out of the yard, the rightside track

3. Do NOT pick up the caboose until just before you leave

4. At the end of the activity, you will be told you did not complete your work order. You can ignore this, If you got an "activity complete" popup ,you really did finish,

5. TrainSim still has the quirk that doesn't show completed assignments correctly in F11. They do NOT show correctly in this Work Order.  Keep notes if you need to.

6. To remove this activity, search the Trainsim folder with the filename "NEMP-163-01*" without the quotes and delete them. This will also remove the consists.

7. When I ran this workorder, It told me I finished in 10 minutes. this is not something I have seen before and I am not really sure what caused it. Keep notes on time, otherwise you won't be paid correctly 

 

 

Spoiler alert, do not scroll down unless you need additional help
