While the meet plays out in Mill Bend the Redland local switcher is dancing with
the Deschutes Hauler East in Redland. Tonight, the DSHE's motive power is too wimpy
for the cars they'll get in Redland (on their way to Pocatello) and they'll get to
double the hill. This turned out to be a bad situation all around because the double
took a lot of time and completely tied up the tracks in Mill Bend preventing other
trains from getting through. Alternatively, the YM at South Jackson might have been
able to scrounge another engine set and sent them down to Redland to be helpers. An
even better idea would have been to just have the DSHE leave cars behind in Redland
for later pickup by RDT (the Redland Transfer) run (which has a much more robust set
of power). You learn something with each op session!
