Just a little work tonight to get ready for tomorrow night...

 |
| Coal loads emptied and in the tray. |
 |
| I moved the tray from the Melrose Park Power Plant to the tray storage above the PRB. |

FINALLY - starting new Train Order Board with Priority #1 Train
The Unit Coal Train 2A WB from the Melrose Park Power Plant in Illinois
to the Powder River Basin in Wyoming
The "Hawk" doing the work to get the WB Unit Coal Train 2A ready...
 |
| Just starting to build the WB Unit Coal Train 2A |
 |
| Pulling out the next set of cars. |
 |
| Just two more tracks to pull. |
 |
| All set for Main Line Power to be assigned. |
Watch video in tomorrow's entry
to view WB Unit Coal Train 2A on it's way to the
Powder River Basin in Wyoming
Now for the switching at the Powder River Basin East Yard...
 |
| Mainline Power C3 CNW C40-8 #8669 doing all the switching into the east yard. |
 |
| Just about finished. Just one more track to fill. |
 |
| The last three cars need to be switch and it's a wrap for the day. |
 |
| Job well done #8669. |
 |
| Here's a picture of the way the yard should be filled after arriving at the Powder River Basin East Yard. |
 |
| And here's a map of the same yard which matches the picture of the actual cars in place at the east yard. |
 |
| Time to fill the cars with coal. You can see I've filled 8 loads at the time of this picture. |
 |
| Now all the loads are filled. |
Next step:
Move these cars from the East Yard to the West Yard.
That prepares the cars for their return trip east to the
Melrose Park Power Plant.
