Daryl, Nice to let the crew of # 5799 get some overtime this holiday weekend. The auto-rak train, could it be ANPML (?) from North Platte to Mira Loma California? Some of those large concrete blocks at the Global 3 yard have large numbers painted on them to let everyone know where Containers are parked. This holiday weekend with not so many trains moving on the main lines train's are moving at least 10 m.p.h. faster than normal. Something to model, U.P. Intermodal running at speed when an airhose disconnects, the brakes come on and the train makes a fast but steady stop. On your throttle the speed in steps just drops down. i.e. 30,29,28 etc.to 0.Cheers, Chris Perry.
Daryl.. another interesting ops video. Looking forward to the following segments. You mentioned the headlight blinking due to a "short" situation which you corrected easily.. That situation brought to mind a video that Ron Marsh from Ron's Trains N Things did on using an auto bulb #1156 single filament bulb that would light when something was going on in the power district.. using that idea.. could you use a small LED camoed into a bldg porch light or a track side power box ..etc. that would only light when such a situation arose allowing you to run your eye down the layout and see at an instant what block had the situation.. just a thought.

Daryl, slowing the trains even more just further enhances the realism of this world class railroad!
Thanks for sharing, another great video!
This is an awesome video of model railroading! The realism is perfect! Awesome job again & my name is Darryl too! Thanks for sharing!
Cool. Glad you liked it.

Nice session thanks for sharing it .
Thanks Daryl. Really enjoyable video. In real life are there allocated times for all the movements with a specific departure time? Cheers, Bob
Great video!
Nice job enjoyed it
for us newbies...can you explain what about the switch was shorting...and what was done to fix?
What car routing software are you using
I wrote a QBASIC program specifically for the Geneva Sub.
I have been looking for a very simple diesel facility was that scratch build?
The engine house is a Micro Engineering kit. The sanding tower is akit bashed Bachman kit. Fuel cranes are American models kits.
@@EvanstonSub Thanks great videos, brings back old memories subscriber
Is ILTAH still a train in real life?
I really don't know. Tore this layout down in 2020 and am building a new HO layout.
@@EvanstonSub Ok
