I was going to post screen grabs, but decided to post the full video instead.
It's a session from the Wattz & Voltz Railroad, an interurban railroad that in the later years of its existence was operated by steam and finally diesel.
You are Chuck & Joe. You signed in and reported to The Dispatcher, who gave you your instructions:
The video shows the first part of this session -- attaching and loading the flat cars with logs at the Log Camp. Unloading the logs at the Saw Mill and reloading them with lumber. Unloading the lumber at the Wattz Steamship Wharf.
The reason for the Map View early on in the session? The Dry Sort Yard intercepts the mouse click when trying to change switches, making it impossible to change the setting of the switches with a mouse click. It is possible, of course, to use "J" and "Ctrl-J" to change the switches in front and behind the locomotive. But the video shows doing it from the Map.
Best watch full screen and in HD:
