East River Multiplayer Session - 8/8/04 – image 1

I will be hosting a Multiplayer session on Sunday night at 9:00 PM. I will probably be dispatching as well as running a train. We will be operating CTC-Style on the mainline and under TWC on the Whitehorn District and Princeton District.As for Power, I don't really care what you have as anything can and will show up on the East River, but I prefer that you keep it Modern (circa 2002-2004), and make sure that if you are heading Westbound into Bluefield that you have enough power to get up the hill.Here is a list of trains:184 - Eastbound Auto Parts, Bluefield to Walton Jct
185 - Westbound Auto Parts, Walton Jct to Bluefield
195 - Westbound Empty Autoracks, Walton Jct to Bluefield
274 - Eastbound Loaded Autoracks, Bluefield to Walton Jct
50J - Eastbound Loaded Grain, Bluefield to Walton Jct
51J - Westbound Empty Grain, Walton Jct to Bluefield700-800 Series trains, Loads are Even Numbers heading East, Epties are Odds heading west. Coal Generally will be routed on the Whitehorn District but I will take into account the amount of traffic and may choose to route Eastbounds via Walton Jct.If you have something else in mind let me know and I will get you a number for it...Hope to have a good turnout for this session!

Sounds Good. Go ahead and make yourself a Path starting INSIDE Bluefield yard 3 (at the east end of the yard) so you will be ready to depart when I tell you to.Also, we have decided to Set the starting time in our sim to SPRING RAIN and 19:00. Those of you with Kosmos can figure out why and know why this will be interesting

RE: East River Multiplayer Session - 8/8/04

Hey Jake, It doesn`t seem right not to have a coal ( loaded or empty ) train going some where on the route. Will you let me switch over to a topgon train? If not then i`ll take the grain like I said I would.

RE: East River Multiplayer Session - 8/8/04

You must have missed this. The 700-800 series are coal trains, evens are loaded, odds are empty. I made up train 844 on my own. That wasn't one of the trains made up by Jake. We already have 5 coal drags. You should stickk with 50J.

RE: East River Multiplayer Session - 8/8/04

Okay, Since I don`t want the grain train and no one wants any more coal train ( Which is cool with me ) Can I take a eastbound manifest?
