Operating Session 13

Operating Session #13 took place on Thursday 1/16/2020.  I had 7 operators in addition to myself.  One of the operators was a first timer at TT&TO, so he was assigned as an engineer with an experienced conductor for learning purposes.

The recently adjusted ATSF and P&E timetables continued to work well.  With the ATSF #17/#18 trainset staying in Pekin longer than before I am thinking about adding another track to East Yard to store the trainset to avoid congestion in East Yard or the Pekin yard by the depot.
