developed an operating scheme, still need to work out the sequence....
• INTERSTATE Sunrise mine run behind an INT RS3 departs MILLER YARD, runs to COOPER, swaps empties/loads at Sunrise Coal #27 then runs to EMLYN for a run-around move to reverse direction then returns MILLER YARD
• The SOU Blue Creek mine run behind SOU F7/RS3 departs APPALACHIA, runs to EMLYN for a run-around move to reverse power & caboose, then pushes the train uphill to SMACKWATER, swaps empties/loads at Blue Creek Coal #11 then returns EMLYN, after receiving clearance, returns APPALACHIA
• Westbound LN thru train from NORTON runs EMLYN, picks-up/sets-out, runs to APPALACHIA (future power TBD)
• SOU RS3 stationed at Harold Yard/EMLYN, switches local industries & Harold Yard
• First Wiegand turn, departs EMLYN, runs WIEGAND, swaps cars at NW & LN interchanges, returns EMLYN
• Second Wiegand turn, departs EMLYN, runs WIEGAND, switches local industries, returns EMLYN, switches ASTORIA on return
-Same power (Harold Yard switcher for now) used both turns, combined into 1 train if less than 10 cars or so total
• EMLYN turn departs APPALACHIA, runs EMLYN via McGOWAN & GUENTHER switching trailing point sidings, arrives EMLYN, picks-up/sets-out cars for LN/NW first Wiegand turn, returns APPALACHIA via GUENTHER & McGOWAN, switching trailing point sidings (future power TBD). This may originate elsewhere if I extend the track labeled “future expansion” at lower right
