Train Day!
w/Rob Fair 6-8pm 2 hrs.

 |
| On to the next train - Commuter Train 1D. |
Rob and I had a discussion about Priority Trains.
In the discussion we decided to change the names of priority trains to "sequence" trains.
We have four priority trains that can be run anytime since they have no yard boundaries.
The Priority (P) Trains are as follows:
P1 Amtrak Train 1F
P2 Unit Coal Train 2A WB & EB
P3 Piggy-back Train 2C Global 2 WB only
P4 Excursion Train 4A WB only
