Train Day!

w/Rob Fair 6-8pm 2 hrs.

Jordan Osborn and Marcus Thorsen couldn't make it tonight.

Here's what Rob and I did tonight...

Rob & I started at the Powder River Basin.
We moved all the full car loads from the East Yard
to the West Yard and then prepared the train for
the East Bound departure to the Melrose Park Power Plant

Here Rob is getting the last of the train departing EB

After 5 laps the Unit Coal Train arrives
at the Melrose Park Power Plant

Then we headed to the workbench to install another
decoder into the other C40-8 locomotive #8526

Before we begin we need to isolated the motor wires
from the track to the decoder

We will pause this project until next week.

I worked on the Locomotive Log Binder tonight.

I added two columns to this spreadsheet.
1 column shows the decoder manufacturer.
The other shows the decoder ID
