Operations Day- November 12, 2016
On November 12th the club put on an "Ops Day" where we simulated the operations of a real railroad. Cars were set out at various "industries" (sidings) around the railroad. Trains with a string of cars were subsequently dispatched to a list of industries where some cars were set out and others were picked up. Each train had a crew of three, engineer, conductor, and brakeman. For many of us, this was our first experience with actual railroad operations. It looked like everyone had a great time. Plans are already underway for another ops day in the future.
