So Switcher Saturday is open to switchers of all scales and gauges.   What classifies as a Switcher is somewhat debatable.



In some cases large power road units are pressed in switching services.   A classic example is the Amtrak auto train.   Amtrak uses Dash 8 locomotives to switch the auto carriers.   No one would normally consider a locomotive as big as a dash 8 a switcher, but that's what how they are used.

Cheers everybody!

In case anyone was wondering.....
