Some quality time with the trains today...
 |
| Working on Priority Train #4 today. It is the UP Yard Master. UP GP50 #53 on PYUPTrack 2 |
 |
| Putting together Train 5D in preparation for another Priority Train in the near future. |
 |
| Just about finished with Priority Train #4 the UP Yard Master job. |
 |
| Then I ran Priority Train #5 Mixed Freight 5A EB. Here the train is waiting at the EB signal to proceed after making it's 5 full laps. |
 |
| During the run today I had two cars that needed some extra attention. The ATSF car needed to have the couplers changed out since they didn't work with the Power locomotives assigned to the job today. The coupler fell off the flat car so I had to fix that at the workbench. |
I completed an inspection report on each of these cars before I called it a day.

After getting all the cobwebs down and sweeping the floor I cleaned off the tall tables.
 |
| So much neater. |
 |
| Oh yeah, that looks so much better. |
 |
| The Powder River Basin table. Looking good! |
Then I planted a few more trees...
 |
| A line of trees to the left and a clump of trees to the right. |
 |
| That all took 45 minutes, .75 of an hour. |
