This room did not start out to be a crew lounge. This former family room has changed into something "more useful" and is used more now as the crew lounge than it did before as a family room.
It was nice to see Rick here for this session. Steve and Rick are in the aisle at Kootenai River.
Mike, Tom and Jule are near the Kootenai River area.Tom and
Northern Dave and now Winona Dave took over Hauser yard for the second half. Jule has some setouts for them.
Dan got the honor of running the first Z train across the system tonight.
Looks like the yard was pretty empty when this was shot. Seems that Shane is running straight through. He "should" have fuelled up here. Hope he had enough to get to Sandpoint!
Alan, Darcy, Paul and Randy are at the mill area. Darcy did not want her picture taken. Bad idea as you will see later. Randy worked the mill for the second half part of the session and Alan was the Troy switcher. Paul had a setout for Alan I believe.
I talked Ron into Dispatching tonight. First time using the computer I might add. I cleaned up a couple of unique things on the screen after the session so things "should" be a tad better for the next dispatcher. Ron did good. Got the "Z" through with no stops along the way.
Paul was pretending to be a tower operator I'm guessing. Or he had a minor derailment behind the power plant.
Jeff "tried" his hand at being the yardmaster in Hauser tonight. It was a learning experience. Randy Page is related to Jeff, we found out tonight, so the relatives had a chance to work together.
Tom Michele took this group shot
Could have used one more person tonight
