Sunday March 29th, 2009

The first VBR&S operating session of 2009 is in the books. A total of eight operators participated, and hopefully all had a good time.


Rick Lull, from Chesterfield, VA was our newest operator, but he was running trains by himself in no time. Welcome on board Rick!

Monroe Yard had two VBR&S vets running it, Dan George....

and Bob Burke. Both complained when I interrupted their work for the photographs.


Wayland Moore has a northbound at Monroe. He is no doubt watching the Yard Crew swiftly switch his train.

Gary Quale has an Extra northbound at Rockfish. Gordon Watkins watches with the ever growing Lower Basin of Lynchburg in the background.

Derek Wimberly has the Lynchburg Switcher working the Lower Basin area.

Finally our dispatcher today was Bill Cox, here hard at work trying to remember how to fill out the Dispatcher's Sheet.
