Railroader - 2/15/24 Day 28 MP - Busy Bryson
11:45am - 13:45 Day 28
Joined by SMRY, Cmdr & Switcher
Before we have a full house, I head over to East Whittier with a big drop while getting out of the way of passenger traffic. Shortly after Switcher takes over once everything is up to date at Sylva.
Scott is on East Whittier duty and Cmdr is working Bryson. I continue to dispatch and handle any passenger servicing while having a chance of railfanning and watching the others work.
At Bryson I have a first hand view from the dispatch office both from the window, down on the ground, and overhead to see the completion of yard work while 51 rolls in. I help guide strategy though Cmdr has the yard well in hand and 51 waits for the blocking to complete before departing to Alarka with stop at Alarka Jct. At the end of the session we pickup the frst car for Nathalla setoff at Cochran for a mixed train from Cochran sation.
