  • National N Scale Convention 2017

Last night I worked the "Operator" job on the Great Northern Missabe Division.  This job consists of copying train orders by phone from the dispatcher, creating the Clearance that authorizes the train to run on the railroad, and preparing switch lists for the local switch jobs (there weren't any local jobs last night). 

Back in late March, Bob, the owner of the HO railroad, held a special session celebrating the 50th anniversary of the beginning of taconite service on the Missabe range in 1967).  Normally, Bob's sessions are in July, 1958 (last night's session was July 18, 1958, beginning at 4:00PM). 

Below is a photo that Bob posted on the Resin Car Work's site:

If you would like to read about the special session, here is a link.  There is a lot of good information on the early taconite operations in this blog post.
