May 18, 2019 ops session.

Last one of this season.  This month, start RC airplanes until September.

The operating signals work well as they allow each engineer to run by just reading the signals.  Four trains from 16 to 37 cars on the mainline with no 'corn meets', plus the SF RDC's.  What I wanted when the layout was built: Multiple long 'scale' trains traversing scenic and mountain territory, single track mainline with passing sidings with two large yards to handle the 'traffic'.
