Shunting Moves on the Grocer Branch
Good Weds evening all,
I forgot on the last Post to mention, but you can see a large Tower on the left of the Diamond, that is Microwave Relay for the whole Route this is new from last week, now the Engineers and other Crafts can communicate across vast distances now with extended Relay setup, better for everyone to be able and advise delays, projects slow movements etc.
Our Junk Train for Grocer Branch has moved over 4 tracks now will cross the Diamonds and head for the new Switch.
You can see us in the back crossing the Diamonds as our Steam Special heads North on the curved connection from East Side Main.
Got thru the Signal Gantry as we head East on Main #1.
Now we are mile out from the Diamonds, and we are lined up to the new Switch just passed the Gantry. Will do a reverse move for bout 2 miles into the Forest on their new Grocer Branch Line.
Medium Clear Signal as we have 2 Dedicated Switchers in the end of the Branch working the Grocery, Box Crate Co and Local Trans Load set outs further back towards end of this long Spur.
I threw in a Gantry so we can see farther back as we backing into the Spur Line here. The second track is used for Exit and Runaround operations.
We got Diverging Route Aspect will continue back into the Box Factory and then around the Corner.
Now with the Overview, you can see how the Tracks are laid out and to the left we have Duel Diesel Fueling Pumps to handle the 2 dedicated Switchers and our Train Power too. So no one runs out of Fuel around here. The Spurs on Right are to be extended to the Tree line straight back, as me need more Storage as Loads and Trans Load Ops are done.
Back to Texturing here specifically Water, the whole board was covered in Water, and need to be cleaned up so only Water is used where it's shown.
On the right side here is the last excess Water left over, that needs to be cleared.
Now in the next item I am working on is where is the Coal Mining Facility I think I had, that I don't have, now why would that be I ask you, Could it be that the Mining operation I thought was Coal, is not, and is a Gravel and Sand Operation!
Yup you guessed it, I never had a Coal Mine Operation, funny thing that started all of this Chaos?
It seems I have a Light and Power Plant that Burns Coal, so where Pray Tell, other than Creating a Fake Coal Train on the Fly, do I get Coal for our Power Plant. The Rest of the Story will appear on our next Post here.
Thanks for Dropping in.
