First post pandemic operating session. We had 7 operators and a dispatcher operating a first shift session. Steve Dolezal was dispatching and Willie Beamon, Ray Garvin, Paul De Luca, Bob Allan, Terry Rothe, Dave Hunt and Bill Grierson were the crews. We ran 17 trains and issued 13 orders. There were two firsts, the first revenue car was set out on the PRR interchange and the first trains were operated on the French Creek Branch.
Here is the line up of trains, and the dispatcher’s train sheet for the session. We ran all but one train planned.
