- Installed feeder wires for all the new Belrose Silica industry tracks. Tested the industry tracks. It's hard to focus when trains start moving. Snap out of it! I have more work to do.
- Tested the Belrose scale again. Mounted the faceplate.
- Tested the flashing grade crossing signals at Mill St (gates are down, but not operational yet)
- Performed some major base scenery work in Utica. All the scenery base behind the tracks in Utica has been created with the exception of the far right corner. I would have continued on with that project, but ran out of wall plaster. I'll make a Home Depot run tomorrow.
- Tested the crossing gates at Ottawa Avenue.
- Tested all blue flag LED lights.
- Repaired the point on a turnout
- Touched up the fascia paint.
- Added more decals identifying industries and milepost locations to the fascia
- Put all my tools and electronic projects away.
- Sorted through the paperwork for the op session. I remember I had to re-block train #217. I classified that using the locomotives.
- I found an issue with Track 8 at Ottawa Silica (Frac Sand loading track). A point had failed and I had repaired, but didn't properly gap. Most cars had passed over ok, but found some Intermountain cars that did not). Repaired the turnout.
- Tested the scale at Ottawa Silica.
- Installed clipboards for the yardmaster and both scales. Distributed paperwork as required.
- Gathered my paperwork as Station Agent and Dispatcher.
- Determined the motive power for the op session.
- #217 - pair of GP7s
- #118 - pair of SD40-2s (left here in error - crew will love having those).
- #113 - pair of SD40-2s
- #112 - pair of RS2s
- Yard Power - pair of GP18s
- All Rock Island Power.
- Started to clean off the project desk. Organized the black cabinet hanging on the wall (has projects and various sensitive/fragile stuff in there).
- Installed Blair Line wood grade crossings at LOF, Ottawa Avenue, PQ and Mill Street. I still have some more to install.
- Moved some of the girls stuff (bean bag chairs, etc) out of the room.
I think that's all I did tonight. It was a lot of little stuff to work on.
