Morning George. What a beautiful day! I just picked up our work order, and have asked the dispatcher for clearance to leave the siding. You're going to enjoy this run...nice and easy. We're to assemble a Log Train here in the Sandpoint area, and deliver it to Whitefish. Dispatch will assist you by throwing some of the switches along the way. You will be responsible to make sure they are in the correct position before proceeding thru them. We'll start by backing over to the MRL Transfer yard to get our first consist, the speed limit will be 20 mph until we cross the diamond ...then don't go over 30. Although not posted, the speed limit in MRL Transfer Yard is 15 mph. I'll remind you just before we enter. Follow the path...watch your speed...and listen to me. Everything should be just fine. Hey! Where did all this traffic come from??

 

Speed Limits:

MRL Yards: 15 mph

Switches: 20 mph

GN Yards: 20 mph

Mainline: 50 mph

All others: As posted
