Progress Report 05.01.13 - Extra Sand Train East

This evening, I test ran some locomotives on a unit (empty) sand train to Ottawa.  I took some photos along the way.  Everything is ready for the operating session Saturday.  This will be #11 in the books.

I have also been working on a spreadsheet for creating automatic train lists for an operating session.  I made some significant progress over the past few days.  I'm very excited!
