Train Day!

w/Rob Fair 6-8:15pm 2.25 hrs.

and Jordan Osborn 6-7pm 1 hr.

It's nice to "get out of the house" but sometimes I 
come over with a bit of an attitude. We still want you to come!

Rob Fair is getting ready to drop the caboose and
pick up Train 5C which he will run tonight.

Starting Train 5C out of Proviso Yard WB

Duration: 00:00.24 sec.

Pick Ups at RIP tracks

Duration: 00:00.27 sec.

Too bad I moved the camera as I took this photo
of Rob at the dispatcher's post.

I found the uncoupling culprit

Duration: 00:00.20 sec.

Updating Paperwork from yesterday's Train Day! Session.

Wed, Oct 12, 2022

More paperwork updating...

Thu, Oct 13, 2022

Finally, last day to update the remaining paperwork...

Fri, Oct 14, 2022

Working on the RR trying to tie up some loose ends...

First, let's take a look at the new location

of the Coach Yard bridge

Duration: 00:00.35 sec.

Here's a still picture from the video above.

And now let's look at the dwarf signal that needs to be moved...

Duration: 00:00.29 sec.

This is the dwarf signal I need to transplant so the
coach cars don't run over it.

UGH! What a mess!
I need to straighten this out a bit.

More cars at the workbench needing some TLC.

There! That's much better.
I have the cars lined up in order
with their corresponding paperwork.

The next step was to put them in the cubbies
for workbench repairs & maintenance.

Now this is what the table top should look like.
Much better! Whew!

Oops, I moved.
This table has some ongoing projects still present.

UGH! Another huge mess!
Maybe I'll be able to clean this up
before Week 428 passes by.

A nice overall view from the south looking north.

Special Guest today.

Also, leaving for Italy tomorrow, so doing some "nesting" today to get things "buttoned up".

Yeah! Last table all cleaned up and looking good!

Now to get the workbench looking good...

SPECIAL GUEST!
My bro, Bill, came over today
to get an update on the layout.

He took these great pictures on his ipad.
Very nice, Bill, very nice!

And the last bit of work accomplished...the workbench
all cleaned up. Now I can leave on my vacation to Italy.
