Train Instructions






The Operating Session will start promptly at 1:30 pm. 

***YOU CAN ONLY SIGN UP FOR ONE JOB ASSIGNMENT ***

There will be on-duty times for each job and Crews should be prepared by that on-duty time. 

Personal locomotives and other equipment must be tested Prior to 1:30 pm and requires approval by the General Manager (GM) for any specific job. Some jobs will only run with NER power.

There will be a mandatory briefing before the session begins. We will highlight any special instructions for the night and things to watch out for (track issues, signal issues, etc.)

The Dispatcher controls movements of all Trains. Permissions are by default for movement in one direction only unless you are given specific permission to operate in both directions.

Job assignments will be handed out and permission to operate any train is issued by the GM only.

Please do not handle equipment that is not your personal property. If you have an issue with your train please inform the Dispatcher first and then the GM.

The session ends at 5 pm, crews already on duty may finish their assignment at the Dispatcher's and General Manager's discretion.

Please take a moment to help clean the lounge area before departing.

Thank you for participating.
