Getting Real column - 5
The addition of the rock train provides a job for a fourth opera-
tor and, like the log train, it runs the length of the mainline and
turns to return to its initial departure yard. I do not have the
aisle space for two-person crews so all engineers also take care
of uncoupling cars, paperwork, etc.
2: My employee timetables are folded, four-sided
forms, as were the prototype timetables. This is page
three, which is the most important page. The times in
bold are meets. I also have a variation of this timetable
which deletes the Merced and El Portal Locals (Trains
14 and 15). Under that timetable these two trains are
run as Extras. Only one group of operators has ever
chosen this option.
