Yo, what up?
A big howdy to new readers Ronnie Russell, Glen Mirts, Terry Sindelar, et. al. Glen, Terry, we don't have a nickname for you that I've heard, yet. If you'll each pitch in a $20 gift certificate we can hold a contest. Steve Weatherby, you are the "Rifleman." Don't gripe fellas, we had a CSS driver nicknamed "Cat-Piss Gerald."
Tim "Don't call me that" Britton brought to our attention that Mechanical's derails have to be lined all the time unless it is known they are Mechanical Department derails. They will be painted a reflective blue and proper notice will be given out. Please go back to work Tim.
The road into Cascan is being graded. Nort guyz, let me know if it fits the bill.
Make sure you tag switches that are bad order. Mirts requests that you actually fill out the tag as well. The idea here is that a switch is either in service or not. If it needs attention, it should be taken out.
Hey, someone shoved the wheels stops on eleven track back a dozen feet. When you do something like that, do the right thing and report that "someone" did it so we can get them back in the right place, huh? Sheesh!
Watch your footing in the yard as we have spots of mainline ballast.
There is close slearance at Rabanco! Don't ride cars in there until we either get it fixed or make sure everyone knows what the deal is.
In the near future we will add channel 36 as a yard channel for thru freight to use. Maybe May 1st. There'll be more on it before we start. Make sure you have that channel on your portables and Terry Jaunte has his removed.
If there is any way you can arrange to be on vacation, military duty, in jail or dead from April 15th to April 30th, do so immediately. On the 15th & 16th the PUC and FRA will torment us. Radio rules & whistling for roadway workers is big on their list. From the 23rd to the 30th the UP, BN, & FRA will swarm like cock-a-roaches all over the Trunk, Gateway and Canyon. Stop tests galore. Be aware.
