I added a new page (under "Espee Oregon Division Pages" on the right column) titled, "Insight on Operations". Here's a quick link: Insight on operations
This page is designed to give outsiders a look at how the railroad operates, as well as preparing new crews for what awaits them when they get their first crew call.
This is still a work in progress, and I am actively looking for better ways to do the paperwork as well as improving how the railroad runs, but it's a start. The railroad was originally designed to operate with three road crews and a yard crew on DC throttles. Today we are running with as many as 11 participants to make it all come together, so the layout has endured some growing pains along the way to say the least. Eugene Yard is the main yard on the layout and has only been in full service for about six months now, but ironing out the bugs more and more with each ops session... so improvements are taking place at a pretty good rate. The completion of the staging yard is expected to add still more diversity to the layout and its operations soon. If you have any suggestions how to improve what we have going so far, open to suggestions, but so far this seems to work pretty good!
