Week 114

Week 114

Sunday, October 2, 2016 through Saturday, October 8, 2016

Sunday, October 2, 2016

Today I had Jordan over to help me out.

We were able to wire up the switch for the Geneva Station lights on the Central Control Tower panel.

Check these out...

 First I had to move the power box over closer to the 50 cable wires.

 I drew a diagram of the wiring so I would have a schematic of the the way it works.

 I installed the new switch near the South Power District panel area.

Then I took a picture of a coal train going through Geneva headed east. 

It's really incorrect because EB coal should be full loads. 

WB coal trains should be empty.

Details, details, details.
