Operations...

A plan with the industries in Crawford Valley

Some light...

... in the dark.
An animated Neon Sign from Miller Engineering on top of the brewery in the new industrial district.

Malt, hops, bottles and coal in, beer out.

Moving forward ...

... to the future, or just to the present ;)

The simple switchlist in "naked operations" made a jump in to my iPhone thanks to the App "Mariner Calc for iPhone"

I took my excel-spreadsheet containing all my running equipment and removed all unnecesary facts

Then I marked the cars with 1, 2, 3, ... for incoming  (and 101, 102,... for outbound) and just sorted ascendeing, put in some space and put in a short description for load and destination.

Next step was transferring it to the iPhone with the built in feature.

And look :) , ready to switch.

Mine Run...

..., first train to Fall River Mine #1.

Ready at the staging with a GP7 and eight hoppers.

Pushed the train uphill and started switching.

Hoppers in position.

A closer wiew of the mockup...
