Operating Session 7 (Amrail)

Operating Session #7 took place on Saturday 8/25/2018.  This was my first time hosting the Amrail operating group.  We had six operators from Amrail, and two from my usual operating group to fill in the remaining spots.  The session went well and I look forward to hosting the Amrail crowd again.  Only one problem was reported by the operators, which was a problem with the couplers of one of the P&E Pekin switch engines.
