Rain, thunder, lightning. Not one for the faint of heart or those who fear the dark.
A challenging session for those sitting at a PC. A night to remember.
But spare a thought for those dedicated dudes out there who make a real railway work twenty four seven.

Charlie, Harry - thanks for standing in on this wet and wild night for the rostered crew who called in sick. Charlie, the heater in the cab of your Class 37 has been repaired so at least you should stay warm. Harry, you will certainly need your oilskin when coupling and throwing points.
An urgent task - take those loaded container flats down to the Container Wharf and unload them at the two unloading points (both ProtoLARS).
For some reason there are two flats with pipes mixed in with the containers - unload them at the gantry at the south end of HeavyTech (LARS).
Reload all the flats with tank containers at the Container Depot (ProtoLARS or LARS), and leave the flats in the upper level Transfer Yard.
Fuel up the locomotive before you start.
Main line trains will be running at 3 minute intervals at the upper level. Always give them priority.
Once again, thanks for your help. Do try to stay dry and warm. Train Control out.
