GNRW ops session June 20.
All went pretty well but, being the dispatcher, I made a few mistakes. Joe normally takes care of dispatching but he brought his new F-3's to run so it was my job. With 7 train on the mainline at once, I had one 'corn field' meet (no damage) and at least a couple; oops, back up since we already have 3 trains at one siding. At least the engineers were observing the signals, correctly!
