2.2.6b Car Movement Instructions (OPLC)

 The OPLC has two car movement strategies.

• Pattern movement. The OPLC has local logging traffic between the OPLC sawmill log pond and OPLC logging reload sites.
  
• Industrial Switching. OPLC has two zones that require switching operations between the OPLC/WWSL interchange.

Pattern switching

The OPLC has 2 local logging trains between the OPLC sawmill log pond and OPLC logging reload sites. Inbound loads are placed on the OPLC arrival/departure tracks located at Headquarters (HQ). Those cars are moved to the OPLC log pond, unloaded and placed on the track.

When the switching as been done according to this pattern, it will be sufficient just to mark '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.

Industrial work procedures

Cars received in interchange must be worked in accordance with AAR car movement instructions. A switch list will be created with the minimum amount of information when making entries on the switch list.

• Car initials and number
• Load or empty
• Type of car
