Progress Report 01.19.11

Managed to invest another 30m or so this morning before work.  Installed the roadbed for the main and storage track on the N&W Meredosia Branch down to the window.  Tested the trackwork at the ADM elevator and Milling loading tracks.

This evening, laid the track on the N&W branchline for the main and storage track from Hucks Machine Shop to the south storage track switch (waiting for its arrival).  I also laid the track for the Illinois Valley Grain Co.

Tonight, I also re-staged the layout tonight with the new cars/industries incorporated.  It will be very interesting to see how it all works out.  Here's a summary of the volume I expect on the locals:

Blue Island Local - Pickup 5 cars, set off 11
Grain Local - Pickup 10 cars, set off 11
Peoria Local - Pickup 10 cars, set off 10
Stockdale Local - Pickup 11 cars, set off 17

Also, we will run 4 through freights, 6 passenger trains and one loaded coal train during the session.  I just love N scale!!  :-)
