 Last night I was running my 4-th operating session and had an interesting occurrence; but not something that I would consider as a SW issue. I had run my Newberry Turn (NBT-1) from Riverside Yard up to Newberry. The switchlist called for one car to be spotted on the clean out track up at Newberry. After I finished switching NBT-1 I got the switchlist for the return train NBT-2 and that switchlist told me to pick up the same car from the clean out track and bring it back to the Riverside Yard.  My clean out track has been operating successfully for many sessions (both paper and real session) and generally the cars spotted on the clean out track are picked up by a later train on the same day or by a train in the next session.  Just wondering if anybody else has seen this "quick" turnaround of a car spotted on a clean out track?  

thanks

I want to hire your cleaning crew. My guys take twenty four hours. I haven't looked at the cleaning time for a while. You are really getting a quick turn around.

Fred,

we are very proud of our underpaid cleaning crew.  We only ask them to work 1 shift a day.  They don't like to travel so I'm afraid I cannot send them up to your RR.

Actually my clean out has worked well for a long time and generally a car has been on the CO track for a full session. It was just the quick turn around that caught my eye the other day.  I'll have to watch in future sessions if I see this again.

thanks

Joe
