2.3.22 Train Information Cards

The WWSL

The train information card tells the engine crew operational information to sucessfully run the train. This card is a 3"x5" car card, and each crew gets one when coming on duty. It describes the purpose of the train, the work to be done along the way, and details about power and train size.

The Yardmaster will start each operating session holding the cards for trains originating in Demaine Yard. The maximum train length, blocking instructions, and power guidelines will help the YM build reasonable trains, and discourage thoughts of sending a 27-car train out with a 600 hp diesel, onto a 19-car siding track.
