Happy SWSat!

Thanks for getting the yards open today Patrick.

Traffic volume is way down on the RSJ&B due to the main yard reconstruction. The yard boss is getting impatient and so are the RR's customers. The track crew has assured everyone that the much needed track has been shipped from Georgia and should arrive early next week. The track gang is ready to go just a soon as the delivery arrives.

In the meantime, a local factory had a load ready for pick up. Since most of the crews are off working for other lines right now, the boss had to grab the Boxcab to go get the load himself.

The crew stops by the tower to check in before heading back to the yard.

On the way back the Boss stops to survey the mess.... He's slightly encouraged to see that the signal crew has gotten the new switches wired and operational. He's been told that all of the wiring will be in place and ready for final connections as soon as the track is laid.

Since the main yard is closed, the Team Tracks have become temporary staging yards. D&H 5001 is standing by to take the load out of town.

Hopefully there will be progress this week on the yard, and traffic will be able to return to normal soon.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Bob
