The 137th session, held on March 19, 2016 had it's moments but in the end it was a really good session. It started with two very late cancellations that had me scurrying around to find fill ins. Thanks to Doug Barry and Philip Taylor for stepping up. And as luck would have it the Swift Run switch decided to stop throwing completely in one direction. But to compensate the switch position lights decided to start working. There was a major derailment at this location but it's cause was not able to be determined. However this tortoise really needs replacing before the next session. Mike, after a brief break in session, handled the dispatcher's position well. One car card went missing and one car card was found to have incorrect information. Both are easy to remedy. The CEO got to the RF&P on time, the passenger trains ran close to schedule and quite a bit of freight was moved. An after session audit did not find any misplaced cars. Good job!
