Website Photo updates
« on: December 16, 2020, 08:18:47 PM »
For those interested-

I just finished several days of work updating the A&O site. About 125+ slides were added to these pages which covers months/years of old photos/projects-

Construction "All things Electric"
Scenery - all pages but Structures
Operations- all pages but Coal Traffic

I think that's where they all went. I'm about caught up.

And I think it takes care of the recently mentioned tutorial for Hawkins as well. The structure itself will come later.

Enjoy, and feel free to give feedback, questions, slurs  :-\, etc.

I also like it! A person could spend several hours going through all that, and not really absorb most of it in. I know that, because I've done that already!  ;D

I would like to add to the crew positions, specifically the hump: you have 2 different sheets the hump operator can fill out while classifying a train. The one pictured has track number and car rolling speed, whereas the other one, IIRC, has train number and track number. Either way, that's my handwriting in that picture! Haha.

Junior, et all,

I confess some of the operations descriptions were for the benefit of the regular/semi-regular A&O crews as an ongoing tutorial. There's just a lot to absorb, especially in Millport. Understanding the scheme followed by experience/practice will eventually help things flow. As will developing a workable timetable that is doable but not overly so. Operating on the V&O in years gone by there was a pace to the session- busy, then slow, etc. It made for fun times, but required operational repetition. We'll get there....I hope.  ;)
