Here’s a video I put together from yesterday’s ops. This was my first time ever participating in an ops session and I really enjoyed it. Jon and I worked together, which was nice for my first go at this, and since Al gave us the complicated train!

I am working today and tomorrow, so I hope everyone enjoys Bob’s and Stan’s railroads.

Great video John! And it must have been fun teaming up with Jon.

Are you going for the whole Triple Crown this weekend?

Day two in the bag. Several trains run, and of course a few RR issues. But a good day and I learned a lot about the car cards.

So sorry I couldn’t make it. I was there in spirit, though.

This picture excited me as I thought Andy (dad) was right there sitting in the lawn chair and I was thinking now I gotta drive 8hrs north to collect my $20!

Today at Bob’s was a lot of fun. I got the hang of the cards pretty quickly. It helps that Bob has a list with the route and work for each job. The cards do make train make up and blocking easier. I didn’t take any pictures :disappointed:

Well then expect a horse head in your bed tonight.
You’re dead to us Johnny R .

Glad to see Rooster’s regard for his fellow man is still intact…

Reminds me, how’s that free weekend stay going? See any EBT rolling by? And you’re not rechristening the back of Jon’s shed again, are you?

Looks like y’all had another gorgeous day, in a spectacular weekend!

good thing Bob took some pictures as i do not know how may others did. my phone stayed in the car.

Things DO change!
