Holiday Operations

Well, as you might expect, the holiday season brought some extra car movements to the BS&T. Fortunately, we were able to call in some extra help to handle the added work. Unfortunately, one employee decided he needed a vacation and high tailed it for a warmer climate. I hope Christmas in Orlando was worth it Derwin!!!

Anyway, we did have two guest operators for the pre-Christmas run. Steve Dickie and Ryan Nelson were on the Island for the holiday and made the trip to Summerside. I think (hope) they enjoyed their time here.

Here are a few pictures from the session…

Brian, Mark, Ryan, and Ken (hidden). Ryan has finished his
work in Kenville, for now, so helps Ken out as Brakeman in
Chappellton. Brian runs the Wholeinthall Turn as Mark
builds the East Bound Wayfreight.

Steve runs the wayfreight through Stevenville. There’s only
a few cars to drop off here, but a few more to pick up heading west.

The Wholinthall Turn makes it’s way through Chappellton
on its way to Tidewater.

The Tidewater Transfer makes it’s way out of Bayside.

A moment of confusion as the opposing wayfreights meet
in Derwin’s Drop.

That’s about it for this session. With the extra operator I was able to take a few more pictures than usual.

Until next time!
