Week 276

Sunday, November 10, 2019 thru Saturday, November 16, 2019

Sunday, November 10, 2019

We moved TRAIN DAY! from Monday to Sunday  this week.

Here is Rob Fair (3-4:30pm 1.5hrs).

We started the afternoon troubleshooting the intermodal train mishaps from yesterday.
Everything passed this time around.

Next, we went to the UP Engine Facility to fix some track that was outta wack - cute.
Now Engine 53 doesn't derail when it enters it's assigned track 5.

The tracks had come together so Rob inserted a spike to keep them in track width compliance.

Jordan joins the party about 3:30pm and stayed to help run some trains until 4:30pm (1 hr.).

Finally, Rob and I spent a few minutes more on testing continuity and voltage at the crossover tracks just prior to Chicago Terminal. You can see the continuity tester light is on in this pic.
