1.1 AAR
1.2 Freight Operations on the WWSL are based on two events;
- The generation of traffic from businesses located along the WWSL tracks.
- The arrival of new cars on any of the five interchanges (the OPLC at Coal Grove, and at Camp 1, Wash, the NP at Brady Jct , MILW/UP at Preacher's Slough, and the STC at Wickwood, and ) and
1.3
Section 2 Responsibilities
These two events set into motion all of the freight car moves that will take place on the layout. Because the layout only depends on these two events mistakes in car moves during a session are not an issue and are corrected during subsequent sessions.
The process used to stage the WWSL generates random car arrivals and repetitive and random car movements. This prevents the same cars in the same trains session after session. It also means the locals (Wickwood Turn and Coal Turn) will have regular switching moves as well as random switching moves. There are no staging yards used on the WWSL. Car Cards and waybills are used to direct the required car moves. However, switch lists could also be used.
Waybills come from two sources; (1) inbound interchange cars and (2) business located along the WWSL tracks. The waybill identifies the receiver and car type required. For the interchanges these are preloaded into the "loaded" cars' Car Card. For the businesses the new waybills are placed in Car Requests until an empty (MT) car is available for loading at which time the waybill is removed from the Car Request and placed in the Car Card. The last step is requesting MT cars. For each business waybill which does not have an MT car available a MT request is placed in a rack at Demaine yard to instruct the yardmaster to locate and direct an MT car to that business.
Waybills are generally not turned. When a car reaches its destination, either an interchange or business, the waybill is removed indicating the car has been unloaded. The car is then either loaded and another waybill is placed in its Car Card or it is directed to another business with an MT request or routed to its default MT location. Cars arriving at the interchanges are simply unloaded (waybill removed if one exists) and removed from the layout. The only exception is tank cars. The waybill is turned so that it has an expidited return along the shipping route.
The terminology of “confiscation” of freight cars, meaning the use of an
empty foreign car to be loaded on a particular railroad, rather than
being sent homeward empty, sometimes sounds like something illicit is
being described. But that’s not true at all; this is simply the term
sometimes used.
A problem which can arise in modelers’ waybill systems is a
realistic means of arranging for a certain amount of confiscation of
empties. The usual prototype cycle, in which a car is unloaded and then
sent directly homeward (if there is a direct connection to the owning
railroad) or sent off on the reverse route it followed when loaded, is
familiar. But obviously the Car Service Rules (which I’ve tried to
summarize briefly at: http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2012/01/car-service-rules.html )
intend that foreign cars be loaded whenever possible, rather than moved
empty, and this is exactly what “confiscation” is all about.
In a layout system with demand-based car flow (this means car flow
which derives from industry needs, an idea which I’ve discussed
previously; see: http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2011/11/operations-demand-based-car-flow.html
), a yardmaster may receive a certain number of waybills (in effect,
standing in for Bills of Lading), and these identify needed empties. The
yardmaster or his yard crew can then choose suitable empty cars for
these loads, following Car Service Rules if desired. For this to work,
either the four-cycle paperwork needs to have an empty cycle called
“available for loading,” or the paperwork needs to be pulled or replaced
as needed. I’ll turn to the latter possibility in a moment.
The system I use on my layout, in which all waybills are
“one-function” or single-sided bills, makes confiscation easy and
natural. Layout resetting
they prepared the Empty Car Bills for movement of newly unloaded empty cars.
They also prepared waybills for newly loaded cars, and handed both
kinds of bills to the crew which would pick up those cars. And if there
was an empty which could usefully be “confiscated” (as it is termed) for
loading, instead of sent homeward by the reverse of its inbound route
under load, the agent makes that decision and informs the crew.
All these duties are included among the jobs described in my article in the October 2011 issue of The Dispatcher’s Office, the
OpSIG magazine, and a corrected version of that article (to remedy
errors which arose in the production process) is available via Google
Docs, with a link in my post on this topic, at http://modelingthesp.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-article-in-dispatchers-office.html.
In modeling, the job of local agent is usually combined with that
of operator, so that train orders or other operational paperwork can
also be handled. But on many railroads, including the SP, jobs
designated as agent-operator, that is, with combined duties, were rare.
If an agent was needed at a station, normally it was because there were
sufficient agent’s duties, and agents usually worked a daylight shift.
Operators, on the other hand, if at a busy location, could well work all
three shifts.
On some layouts, the job of agent may also have duties such as
selecting waybills to simulate shipper demand for cars, though in my
system that is handled separately from any agent (and of course on the
prototype, the shippers, not the agents, created demand). But the core
duty is receiving waybills from crews who are delivering loaded cars,
and providing waybills and Empty Car Bills for cars being picked up, and
directions for car confiscation, if any.
private owner leasing
“If no instructions have been received by the time the car is released empty, a copy of the inbound waybill is made, a notation reading “Released Empty (date/time) - Return Reverse Route” placed on the copy of the inbound bill, and this, in effect, becomes a shipping order which is forwarded to the bill clerk. The bill clerk again places a standard, eight-part waybill form in the typewriter, and opens the “Non Revenue” series waybill file to get the next Non Revenue waybill number to assign to this waybill.
Jeff also simplified his Empty Car Bills, so that all cars moving
homeward, that should not be confiscated, have white Empty Car Bills,
while yellow Empty Car Bills are used only for cars which can be
confiscated. This makes the job of yardmasters on Tom’s layout easier
(they also wear the hat of car distributor), because they can easily
spot the cars they can confiscate for use, by the yellow color of the
paperwork.
WWSL Car Movement Instructions
Maps on the following pages are not drawn to scale. They are issued to serve as a guide in locating customer's tracks and the numbers assigned them.
The zones are developed by consolidating one or more switching districts or industry engine assignment service areas into a zone. Two digits are used to identify a zone on the maps and zone/track listing of industries. If a zone has only one digit, it will appear as 01, 02, etc.
The track numbering for industrial tracks within each zone will be a three-digit number in series 700-999, which is assigned to each track and the number painted on the switch target, where practicable. For example, if the number 04-700 appears on a switch list, it would designate Zone 4, Track 700.
The place or places on each industrial track where a car is spotted for loading or unloading is assigned a spot number. Where more than one customer is located on the same track, the spot numbers will identify the individual customer's location on that track. Thus, if a car is to be spotted for Hi-Line Wood Products, it would appear on the switch list as 04-700-90; that is , Zone 4, Track 700, Spot 90.
When possible the spot numbers are placed at the center of the car spots on the industry tracks to assure proper spotting of the car. Where it is not possible to actually place a spot sign at such places as Team Tracks, open areas for scrap or lumber and other similar places, as spot code is used. Codes are self explanatory and appear on the following page.
Spot Numbers
00 - Lead or no specific spot, or customer will supply instructions
01-87 - for specific loading/unloading places on industrial tracks
88 - Customer has not yet provided instructions, car cannot be spotted.
90 - Open area scrap, lumber, etc., spotting.
91 - Storage or hold spots.
92 - Inside building spots.
93 - Overhead crane spots.
94 - Hopper/Gon spots for gravel, sand, cement, grain, flour, etc.
95 - Dock or Platform.
96 - Piggyback ramp.
97 - Bi/Tri level car spot.
98 - Interchange.
99 - Team or public freight track spot.
Completing the work
It is the responsibility of each conductor or industry job foreman to complete his work orders according to Conductor's Instructions for TCS work Orders. Once there work orders are completed, the document must be forwarded to the designated DCC employee.
CLIC instructions
This booklet contains instructions and maps for car location identify code (CLIC) and procedures governing the work order document system.
Maps are not drawn to scale and are to be used only as a guide to locating customer and yard tracks and the numbers assigned to them.
The geographical are covered in this booklet is divided into zones. Each has designated tracks and/or industries within its boundary.
A clic number will consist of sic digits. The first two digits designate the zone, the second two digits indicate the track number within the zone; the last two digits represent the actual spot along the track.
the combination of the zone-track-spot number is know as the car location identity code (clic).
This clic number will be used for switching and reporting purposes instead of the industry or track name.
All switch targets or stands have been pained with a combination of the zone and track number.
Spot numbers have been painted on doors, docks, buildings, gates, etc., wherever possible.
Work order document
Any written or verbal instructions issued to yard or road crews requiring work to be performed during their tour of duty will constitute a work order.
Note: exceptions to written work order must be noted on the work orders according to current instructions; cars handled on verbal work orders must be reported on the prescribed form.
conductors and engine foreman will be furnished work orders during their tour of duty.
This document will specify the cars to be picked-up or set-out at various stations, industries, or interchange tracks serviced by the train or switch job.
Certain information (outlined below) must be recorded on the work order document by the conductor or engine foreman. Prior to turning in the document at the designated reporting station, it must be dated and signed -- even if no work was accomplished. This is necessary to comply with the switching and demurrage tariffs as well as other rules and regulations.
Conductors and engine foramen must show on work orders cars handled, time and date work performed clic number taken from, clic number left and the appropriate code as listed below:
BO - Bad order.
ND - Work indicated not Done - (state reason work not done).
NIT - Car not in train, or not on track
OTCC - Car on track, carriers convenience.
OTNP - Car on track, but not placed (state Reason).
Pull - Car pulled, time and Date
Spot - Car spotted, time and date.
Conductor/engine foreman must make a notation on work order of
any exceptions taken, such as no car, car not on list, car out of line, car is
hazardous, excess dimension (when information is not so indicated on work
order) car is carded rear or head end movement only, or any other exceptions
noted.
If switching is performed without a work order, the
conductor or engine foreman must complete the prescribed form showing all the
information required above and turn it in at the designated reporting station.
If any industry request service no show on the work order,
conductor/engine foreman should obtain such request in writing. This request is
to be turned in with work order. If unable to obtain request in writing,
conductor/engine foreman should record on work order, the name of person making
request and the service requested and performed.

Zone 1Wickwood 53200
Train Yard procedures
Reporting work completed
The car control section must be prepared to run new switch lists as soon as they are required and therefore must be kept up to date on the work performed.
Upon completion of each assignment, Foreman will advise Car control what work has been done.
Miscellaneous work
Some moves, such as throwing a bad order car off a train, can be accomplished faster without a switch list. This type of assignment will be given verbally by the yardmaster.
When the assignment has been completed, the foreman will report to Car Control and explain what has been done.
Pattern switching
Generally, tracks in a train yard or industrial support yard will be specifically assigned.
If the switching as been done according to this pattern, it will be sufficient just to mark the work 'done' on the front of the switch list. If, however, cars are put into a different track, then this track must be shown against each car so handled.
Switching not completed
Some work may not be completed because of a lack of time or a change in work assignment.
On the switch list, draw a line after the last car handled. Draw a bracket to cover the list of cars not handled and write the work not handled; alongside the bracket.
If the unswitched cars are not put back into the same track as shown on the switch list , then their new location must be shown.
Industrial work procedures
Written entries on switch list
Foreman will be required to show the minimum amount of information when making entries on the switch list.
Entries written up of form x must show:
Car initials and number
Load or empty
Type of car
Track taken from
Track left at
Times, where required.
Cars spotted for customers
Customers include industries, shed, piggyback ramps, team tracks, etc. A spotted car means that the car is placed as requested by the customer, or where it can be worked.
Show the time that the car was placed.
Customer' cars pulled
This includes any equipment, load or empty, released by a customer.
The switch list must show the track were the car was taken from, the time that the car was pulled, and the track where the car was left.
Constructive placement
When a car cannot be spotted for any reason which is the customer's fault (track full, track obstructed, gates locked, etc) this is considered as a constructive placement.
Cross out the track number where the car should have been placed, and show the track number where the car was left.
Record the time that the car was left, write in the initials " " and give a short explanation of why the car could not be spotted 'full, gates, etc.
If the car was left on the track designated, but outside of the spot area, do not cross out the track number but do record ' ' time, etc.
Cars not spotted - railway's fault
Sometimes a car cannot be spotted because of the railway's
fault - broken rail, frozen switch, etc.
Cross out the track number where the card should have been spotted and show the track number where the car was left. Do not show a placed time. Make a short notation of why the card could not be spotted.
Cars left on customer's siding - not spotted
When a car is left headed into a customer's siding for another engine to spot.
Do not show a placed time but indicate 'not spotted; on the switch list. The foreman who spots the car will show the placed time.
Plant switching
When cars are moved from one track to another within the same plant.
Record the move, if it is not already on your switch list.
If the car had been spotted on the first track then no placed time is required for the spot on the second track but write in the work 'switch'. If the car had not been spotted, show the placed time on the second track.
One car for two customers
This condition is where two customers in a terminal share a carload and each customer has a different siding.
Show the pull time form the first customer on the left hand side of the 'Time' column. Show the placed time, for the second customer, on the right hand side of the 'Time' column.
If this record is written in, show the track taken from and placed at'.
Loads or empties left in storage tracks
Loads or empties may be moved to a track near the customer,. This is for the railway's convenience since the customer has not yet ordered the car in.
Yard foreman will not consider this a constructive placement. Track numbers will be required, but times will not be shown.
Cars not shown on switch list
When a car is handled which is not shown on the switch list.
Record the required information about the car and show the tracks 'taken from' and 'left at'. If the car was spotted or released, show the times.
Cars left for furtherance
Normally these will be cars gathered from industries and left for another engine to handle to the train yard. Occasionally, these cars may be handed directly to another engine.
The foreman leaving the cars:
Will record on the switch list the lead or track where the cars were left.
Will record the track number against any cars which were switched out prior to handing the cars to another engine.
Will call car control right away and advise what has been done.
The Forman picking up the car:
If the cars picked up and area all left on the same track, the switch list must show the number (quantity of cars, the track; taken from, and the track left at.
If some of the cars are switched out, the switch list will show the individual cars switched out with appropriate track numbers.
Call car control right away and advise what has been done.
