On 10/03/10, RS-2 #34 finished building the next #252 train on the Terminal District Main Line. At the engine facility, the hostler made up 252's power by running FA-2 #50B onto the turntable from the Inbound, turning it, and placing it on the Outbound, then ran FB-2 #52A onto the turntable and lined it into the Outbound and coupled it to #50B. #252's power was made up, serviced and ready to go.
Next, the hostler ran FP-7 #12C from the morning inbound passenger train from the Coach Lead, turned it on the turntable, and placed it behind the Midday Mail power on the Service Track. The Terminal District yard engine switched and turned the passenger trains, turned any individual single-ended cars (combines, etc.) on the turntable and made up the Eastbound trains in the Coach Yard. No trains have run as yet on 10/04/10. The passenger schedules will probably run later this evening, but #252 may have to wait until 10/05, when #251 is made up at Mooar Yard. Bob Nicholson, GM, SHABBONA RR _________________________ At Mooar Yard, yard engine RS-3 #37 placed yesterday's cars from #252 over to the Mooar Yard Main for the Humongous switch job. As of this writing, the Humongous switch job has not begun sorting out the cars and spotting them. The passenger trains ran their regular schedules, on time --- In [email protected], "shabbona_rr" <user141...@...> wrote: > > In addition to the locomotive assignments listed on 10/01/10, GP9 #42 remains > sidelined for driveline inspection and repairs. > > On 10/02/10, Time Freight #252 ran from Terminal District to Mooar Yard with > RS-3 #37 in the locomotive consist with FA-2/FB-2 #'s 50B & 52A.
