March 3, 2013 Op Session

 Another VBR&S Op Session is done, and I hope everyone enjoyed it.  The pictures are no particular order.
 Bob Burke is at the Montview control panel preparing to bring his train in (or out).
 Over in Monroe, Dan Mulhearn was our Yardmaster, and here is consulting with Derek Wimberly.
 Jerry Ritter and Phil Taylor's trains are passing at the future Buffalo River bridge.  It's on of those as yet unmarked places that only I know about.
 Ketih Stillman ran the VBR today, but was concerned about the profitability of the short line with only a very few cars moved.  I told him that was pretty much the way the real VBR felt lots of the time.  To make up for it, I saved 153 for him, a hefty 1st class freight making it's way south through Charlottesville.
 The new guy!  Ron Ritchie a friend from Monroe, the real Monroe.  Here Jerry Ritter is showing him what we do at these op sessions.
Steve Robbins ran the Lynchburg Switcher and here he's studying his switchlist at Lynchburg's Lower Basin.
I dispatched this session.  It wasn't the professional job Keith and Bob usually do, but we got the trains pretty much where they were supposed to go.
