GNRW ops session pictures.
Pizza arrived at 6:45 so, after full stomachs, we then 'ran trains'.
Main line was pretty busy.
First timer Rex seem to enjoy running a NYC and a N&W passenger train. At one time, I looked over at the schematic on the monitor and I think every district was in red (ie, occupied). Some engineers had to wait awhile for the mainline ahead of him to clear but they made the 'run' under the 12 hour rule!
Bob running a D&GRW Zephyr passenger train.
"YES, I'm pretty sure the train is in there!"
Jack with a UP 2 tone challenger passenger train. Joe had the SP AC-5 passenger train.

John had a GN R-2 2-8-8-2 pulling a 43 car freight drag.
Times like these, I'm glad I made generous width isles!
Jack and the UP passenger train.
Rex arriving at the passenger yard.
John's freight drag taking on water: I love the BLI functioning water towers! Four of them on the mainline.
Freight drag arriving at Seattle on inbound freight yard track while Jor's PRR passenger train departing on passenger track.
I was impressed by all the engineers obeying all signals when they were red: good thing, don't need any 'cornfield meets'! The LCC signalling system sure saves me a lot of work on directing traffic.
Later, we talked trains and solved world problems (mostly trains though)! The new 20 amp power station and 4 boosters seem to work very well. Most left around midnight. I get half my fun with the post ops discussion session!
The GNRW mission statement was accomplished:
