The answer is almost always yes. (And i enjoyed the rabbit chase!) As you know from the Sue Line, we push operation to the limit in terms of all the things we...

It was indeed fun! I certainly agree with your comments. Different "flavors". If all that was ever offered was Rocky Road, we'd get bored with that very...

Okay - I can see that. Currently, the only time a car will move more than once is a session is via an interchange. SO, to me, any time a car would move twice...

David, I and several others on this list from Dallas are operating on the Sue line on May 17. Perhaps if you are around, you will have a chance to show us some...
Chris - I do not thinkk David will be there but there should be no problem showing you some of the 'tricks'! Looking forward to the session. rob robins ...

I have'nt thought this out much, but can RailOP handle in's and out's for a coal mine and power plant? On my Christom and Clarendon RR I have a mine and...

Bill, that "problem" in RailOp is solved if everything is done in real-time. You won't have a train going out with a car that is supposed to have already...
