February Ops Session at SVL

Train 267 at Mt. Nicholls

At this month's ops session I jumped on helper service engines as soon as I arrived, spending the next hour or so helping other trains up and down the loop. Later on, I ran train 267 the northbound grain train from Bakersfield to Nowheres.

The major assignment of the evening were train 215, first and third section, as well as train 216. The latter was overlength with 37 cars. A very enjoyable modern ops session with lots of very long trains in revenue service.
