5:03 -- an I1s decapod (a "Hippo" to Pennsy fans) has made several trips with a short freight from Enola Yard to JACKS. (JACKS is the tower that controlled the junction between the Pennsy's new main line and the old main line -- the part I am modeling in detail -- through the center of Mount Union.)
(In more prosaic terms, that means I have extended the throttle bus into the east end staging, brought the main line power bus over to and spliced it into the bus that was already in place under the staging yard, and soldered in a bazillion track feeders.) This leaves about 4 feet to which I must add jumpers. Then we can test the entire mainline loop. Lee Rainey
